[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Garret:
The sticker opened way too easily and..

the phone had fingertips on the back cover and on the touch buttons on the front...

Is this normal? I'm getting really pissed off....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sergio PC:
Maybe they just opened it to chek it out. Chek the time on the calls. Thats a definate to see if they actually used it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hassan:
No thats not really normal. Specialy the finger prints;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Garret:
....

Can they not delete the calls / info / any tracks ?

Also is it normal to just have the phone inside the box without any protection at all on the front? It was just the box cover and then I could see the phone straight away, not a single paper / plastic , u know sth for basic protection.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Milenco:
When you open the box the phone is right there. Normally a sheet of plastic (a really ugly screenprotector) is protecting the phone. Seems your phone has been used before. Maybe in the shop the show people some features, maybe by someone who didn't like it and returned the package..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rswift:
Where did you get it from?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Garret:
Vnp, a normal (real :p) shop in Athens Greece.

Milenco, now that u mentioned the ugly screenprotector, it does have it - my bad.

Well...

according to this video, mebbe there is nothing wrong?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpLWF2HRTO4

I switched it on and it says

"Preparing the device for first use. Please wait... bla bla"

So, all is cool??

And now I have to set up the screen.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] krazycanuck82:
my bet is that one of the reps at the store had opened it to check it out or show a client. i work at telus and customers usually want to see the phone, so this would explain what happened with yours
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Garret:
Call history is blank, so I guess all is ok.

Thanks for the help guys :)

1st impression of the screen is "WOW"

And touch Flo 3d seems pretty responsive :)

CALL DURATION @ device - settings-call duration SHOWS:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sunr!der:
the phone was used and then a hard reset was done.

this results in the message "...for the first use".

I'm going there tomorrow to get a new one.

Then you may be in trouble if you need to take advantage of the guarantee and all. Are you sure the store is going to support it - because ACE Hellas certainly won't!

It's perfectly legal to import it themselves instead of going through the official distributor. However, I think there is a EU law that states that parallel imports have to be from the same area*...

Why buy it from that shop anyway? Was it cheap at least?

Hi everyone,

I've recently rooted my phone and it went pretty much smoothly but i installed an app to change my emojis (i know its dumb but dont judge me ;) ) and i needed to restart my phone so i did it but then my phone was in bootloop.

So I've been on the internet this whole day trying to figure out a way to get my data back and most importantly get my phone back to working.

But i didnt find anything that worked for me, ive tried flashing a fastboot rom but as i was the flash_all.bat program it just crashed so i tried MI Flashing Tool and there i got an error saying "cannot load 'C:\backup': No such file or directory"

Guys i'm desperate its my only phone and I cant afford another right now so any help is grantly appreciated.

Thanks for the help.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] joke19:
U unpack the rom and choice the right direction
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] user0u:
You need the boot image of the OS and flash it via fastboot using "fastboot flash boot boot.img" make sure you use the boot image of whichever OS your phone had (stock or custom).

If similarly, the system partition is causing the problem then you need to get the system.img flashed using "fastboot flash system system.img".

Hey,

So I'm a user of that ROM for a while

Recently noticed very very hard battery drain.

Means I can leave my device for a night and it will go down for example from 100% to 65% easy .

I deleted all unnecessary apps , did lots of checkups , even disabled Volte to try and same thing .

Here are some screenshots below of BBS.

Getting sorta like 1.5 hours of SOT .

Please help me :(
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] HighOnLinux:
As a pixen user myself, i haven't faced battery issues on the latest builds, hell even overclocking the device i still have solid battery life. I'd recommend a factory reset to see if things clear out. If things don't clear out with a factory reset, reflash the latest builds alongside a factory reset in the process of doing so, If neither of those options work, try updating the oos firmware and reflash pixen on both slots.

The only way to know is to try to run OOS for a while to compare. If it's also bad, then your battery is bad. BTW, you don't need to make a separate thread for this. This isn't a ROM support page.

Do you know if a version was released with a security patch past August? A non Chinese version.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] slaphappy454:
Unless you can get the beta what development was stopped on there are no android updates or security patch updates.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] vibraniumdroid:
Not quite correct, the Chinese version seems like it's actively updated.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] bignazpwns:
That's not an update. Same security patch and Android 9. That's why the RM3 and 3S won't ever get an actual update because people defend them.

Also that Chinese ROM sends data back to China.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] vibraniumdroid:
Is it just bug fixes and stuff? The Chinese forum even has a change log for the January update it got. I'm just grasping at straws here, I cannot sell the phone and want to get it on the latest Android version I can. I know the development is basically dead.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] vibraniumdroid:
This is the one I was talking about
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] bignazpwns:
And? Let me guess your pretty easy to please. Here I'll repack a rom for you and preload a wall paper for you and make you happy.

Those "updates" are nothing more then additional bloat. You know the stuff every phone owner hates. Still the same Android 9 same old security patch. Nothing is updated. The remove bloat in some patches and then add it back in another.

But **** how is that January security patch then? That rom should have it if its an "update"

Dolphin 35, an 18 month contract, £35 a month for 18 months with the option of 5 months free. That brings the total cost to £455, only £55 more than the Sim free cost of the phone and you get unlimited web browsing and unlimited texts and 600 minutes.

Orange may have a poor reputation, but that deal is unbelievably good.

See here: http://www.mobiles.co.uk/orange-htc-touch-diamond.html#MobilePhoneTariffs

Edit: My mistake, there's no unlimited data with that deal. It looks like you have to buy through orange for unlimited data which comes to a total of £540, £90 quid more. Still not bad though.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mr_Ray:
The standard warning applies with the above offers and all like it. You are likely to not get that money due to obscure overcomplicated rules on redeeming the cashback, normally involving goats, virgins, and lunar eclipses.

It's been scientifically proven that people too evil to be a seal-clubber or second-hand car salesman go on to run discount phone websites.

The original deal direct from Orange is still good though. In fact, it's the one I signed up for earlier.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] joey7415963:
Or you could get all that and a free ipod or projector or whatever you want, done it with my last phone and an xbox 360 and it all worked fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Deleted member 368662:
You pay more though, the original deal i quote was £455, to get a 'free' Xbox Arcade it would cost £720. That's £265 more for a console thats worth £150 - So you're wasting £115! Hardly free ey?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] liamhere:
i just got a upgrade

they have given me 650 cross network

unlimited landline calls

unlimited texts

"unlimited" data

18 month contract...which i don't mind.... £30

this was direct from orange....no funny middle men :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dangay:
Free direct from orange on £30 pm

Just bought mine on upgrade, direct from orange for £30 pm 600mins + unlimited text and web, phone was free!

I suspect you can get it for free on the £25pm but I wanted unlimited web.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] darthbane2k:
Oranges' deals are not that good at all.

First of all 18 month contracts for any WM Device enthusist are terrible. You want to try the new forthcoming WM7 HTC devices, you will want a 12 month deal.

Secondly Orange's unlimited data isnt unlimited. Its a 500MB fair use policy (too little) that - according to their website (and there has been some confusion about this) is limited to 2 months. After 2 months, you pay for the data package.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] smartmove:
You need to check if these 3rd party dealers are giving the unlimited mobile data. I just ordered with M2YD on a Dolphin 35 18 month contract, free handset and this DOES include the unlimited mobile browing (confirmed with M2YD and Orange CS on the phone). £35 per month with £210 back on redemption and £55 cashback with quidco. This means my total cost for the 18months will be £365 :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PaulusUK:
Me too

I've ordered from m2yd.

Dolphin 35 .... £210 cashback, unlimited internet and texts. £55 back from www.quidco.com

In all, over 18 months it will cost me £20.28 per month

Best deal currently available over 18 months ... I think I've searched them all!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Deleted member 368662:
The contract may be 18 months but i was simply looking at the total cost. As in, if a phone comes out in 12 months that you want, buy that also. There's nothing to stop you running two contracts concurrently. If you've seen a better deal from another network, post it, just because it's an 18 month deal doesn't make it bad.

Also, show me a network that does unlimited data that doesn't have a fair usage policy? Hell, every ISP has one, why wouldn't a phone network who has to send data over a massive infrastructure of cell towers

Btw, im not an Orange fan, im a Tmobile fan, no bias here.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mr_Ray:
I don't worry about the 18 months thing. For heavily subsidied expensive phones, it often works out that the TCO over 18 months is just a few more £ than over 12 months.

Way back when I got my Wizard with Vodafone, the 18 month contract was about £20 more than with a 12 month contract. I still got my Vario II 12 months later, but then had a spare contract phone for 6 months for £20.

As for the whole "unlimited" thing, it's not just in regards to data, they also wrap "unlimite texts" etc. in similar weasel words. I'm surprised that they're all allowed to get away with it still. It's pure false advertising, and they all do it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] darthbane2k:
sounds like bias to me.

At least T Mobile offer 1GB fair use. 500MB is way too limited.

Also with T's web n walk plus, you get free GLOBAL T Mobile hotspot access.

Also T have a brilliant HSDPA network. How extensive is Oranges?

Also with orange - you seen that cost to non orange mobiles outside of your air time?

As for contract length.. let me put it this way..

12 months ago I bought a brand new HTC Touch.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PaulusUK:
Slightly OT, but does the Orange unlimited internet allow for using the phone as a modem? Is it unlimited internet or unlimited data?

Likewise does it allow for VOIP?

I can see how Opera will quickly eat into the data instead of pocket IE and its cut down pages

Back on topic, Orange allow a downgrade to the next lower tariff after 9(?) months -so a bit more saving. Not sure if this impacts on the cashback offer though
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] R3PUBL1K:
The unlimited package on orange does not allow tethering or VOIP... :mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Radeon123:
Have done quite a bit of VOIP over 3G with Skype using an Orange 250mb data plan with my old Tytn 2 and never got charged for it, when I check my usage all it shows is I used a few megs, done that for months :)

Not tried tethering though as I have no need to.

They may say we don't allow you to do it but doesn't mean they banned it :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] smartmove:
Sorry, whats tethering?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] joey7415963:

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 10364221:
Hi everyone

Since I unlocked my bootloader and started flashing custom ROMs, I always have a problem with every single one. Usually, when I used MIUI, battery temp would usually be at 22-25ºC idle.

However, on EVO X or PE 10 (and Plus Edition) for example, battery idle temp usually sits at around 27-30ºC and when I lightly use it (like for browsing or using social media) it can easily jump to 35-39ºC which is something I am afraid of since that didn't used to happen.

I would like to know if that is something common with AOSP ROMs or if it something related with my device, please.

I apologize for my not being that great (not my native language) and if I did something wrong regarding XDA categories.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sotosgolf:
First of all, the temperatures you are mentioning are perfectly normal.

Secondly, could the environment temperatures have changed since you switched?

Nevertheless, i personally, don't have that high temperatures. My battery (with room temp around 20C ) is around 25-35 and goes up to 39 while 3d gaming.

Also, miui may have a different reading from aosp for the same actual temperature if you aren't using the same app for measuring.

Those being said:

1. Check if you have any weird apps or have flashed anything that causes heating (many ROM dirty updates may cause this, so clean flashing your ROM could help).

2. Check if the problem stays when you change kernel (i'd suggest Optimus drunk).

3. Try switching ROMs
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] heymadherehi:
Hey badameco7,

I completely understand the issue you're facing with your custom ROMs and the increase in battery temperature. I have encountered a similar problem before, and I can suggest a few options that might help you resolve the issue.

Firstly, you can try enabling the battery saver option on your device. If needed, you can even turn on the extreme battery saver mode. This can help optimize power consumption and potentially reduce the battery temperature. Additionally, you can exclude essential apps that you use daily from the battery saver restrictions to ensure they function properly.

Another option you can consider is underclocking your CPU. Underclocking reduces the processing speed of your device's CPU, which can lead to lower power consumption and consequently lower battery temperature. However, please note that underclocking may affect the overall performance of your device, so you should proceed with caution and find a balance that works for you.

Lastly, if the issue persists, you may consider switching to a different custom ROM that is known to be more suitable for your device. You can explore various ROM options by searching online forums like Reddit, Quora, or XDA Developers. These platforms often provide valuable insights and recommendations from experienced users who have faced similar issues.

I hope these suggestions prove helpful in resolving the problem you're experiencing. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] amn1987:
Some custom ROMs and/or kernels have a much more relaxed thermal throttling implementation compared to the stock one.

It could be also due to the Pixel Spoof hack included in many custom ROMs which is obviously not not incorporated in MIUI.

(Temp. fix:root reqd.) High CPU usage and battery drain due to Google Play Services.

Google Play Services is causing high CPU usage and massive battery drain( >25%/h) continuously. Battery temps. cross 40°C in no time. The issue persisted upon rebooting the device. Had to finally freeze it. In FKM, I/O section shows constant...
