Why is it out of order? You bought it without a case, now when people buy a different product that gets bundled with the case you get annoyed?

It's not like HTC are targeting you and leaving you all, everyone who buys a retail Touch Diamond doesn't get a case

Edit: Theres a load of cases on Expansys, the Krusell ones are especially nice
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] frysee:
Do you mean the Pouches (S390, I think)?

If you are near Germany, check mobilejoker.de - atm selling them for 8.40€ each :)

greetz
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] darthbane2k:
Yes I mean the official pouch.

And yeah the Orange folks bought a different product (although I hear they are just generic HTC Diamonds anyway) but HTC cannot be bothered to manufacture anymore for those who bought the sim free device. Yes it IS out of order.

I live in the UK - the cases cannot be found anywhere.

I only want the official one.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Fabliv:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PaulusUK:
LOL .... that slip case makes it look like a LED calculator from the early 1980's
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
Cool - Very Retro...... * I hear that Retro is very fashionable?? I've read that this case also "cleans" the diamond on the way in and out too removing smears and finger prints?

I have the Krussel Case - very happy with that?

As for the Orange package - the case will be compensation to the standard High Street buyer/user being stuck with the Orange Rom so give them a break? :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] darthbane2k:
What Orange ROM?

They got generic, unbranded diamonds! Plus our cases!

will let you know if i get one in the box
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] leoni1980:
They do get unbranded firmware AND a case AND some kind of dock thing.

I have an unbranded one, but I had a play on the Orange one in the shop yesterday and there wasn't even an Orange splashscreen! All the same as on my device, aside from a little cameo Orange logo on the battery cover. It even says 'HTC' below the screen rather than orange. The T-Mobile branded MDA COMPACT 4 (WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY) will have 'T-Mobile' on this section, although I believe the battery cover will be blank.

I don't get an upgrade till february and I wouldn't want to be on Orange anyway. T-Mobile are more apathetic about overusage of data when you're naughty, whereas Orange are ogres. Data plan/Diamond are an essential partnership so where I to be choosing a plan and not spending a small fortune on handset-only I know who I'd go with.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Diplomate:
U kidding, right? The Orange Diamond in France has a completely customized ROM, plus the Orange logo on the back cover!

I was able to flash the original HTC Rom over it, so all is well, but the Orange logo on the back cover is there to stay... so these are definitely NOT "standard" Diamonds.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] leoni1980:
I forgot to mention the MDA COMPACT 4 is more rounded and has a customised magenta coloured theme.

How is it customised by the way? Please tell me they havent put that horrible Orange sidebar on there. W**kers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] darthbane2k:
I am ABSOLUTELY PISSED OFF now to discover that Orange customers not only get an unbranded device - they get the case (which is still impossible to find seperately in the UK) AND that snazzy dock.. all in the box.

HTC have really screwed over those who bought the phone offline.

Hello,

Sorry for my english, I'm french.

Because of problems with katkiss 6.0.1 (reinstalled after frozen boot), I did not succeed to install anything (because of play store service saying in looping that it stopped).

For recovery mode (APX) I used TWRP 2.8.1.1

So I tried to put the last ASUS official ROM (4.0.3) : WW_epad-user-9.2.1.27.zip

I put my ASUS TF101 in APX mode (TWRP) and I tried to install the ASUS ROM.

I did not succeed (maybe because of the 2nd zip inside the initial zip: WW_epaduser9_2_1_27UpdateLauncher.zip)

So I tried another solution using EasyFlasher 0.8.3 with SBK1 choice (my TF101 model SN begins with: B60KAS...).

I put WW_epad-user-9.2.1.27.zip or WW_epaduser9_2_1_27UpdateLauncher.zip (I don't remember exactly) in asusupdate folder.

I clicked on Flash Asus stock zip / Unbrick and followed the steps.

It was not too long (I saw after that it should take 30 minutes to flash, it was not my case...maybe because of the 2nd zip inside the 1st one "WW_epaduser9_2_1_27UpdateLauncher.zip").

So I think that I tried to flash the TF101 with TWRP in adb mode.

From my PC, I think I launched:

adb sideload WW_epaduser9_2_1_27UpdateLauncher.zip

I think it did not work so I think that I unzipped the file and tried:

adb sideload WW_epad-user-9.2.1.27.zip

It flashed my TF101 successfully.

I rebooted my TF101 but it freezes during the boot (I waited several minutes...even maybe an hour) such as this example:

[IMG="Asus freekes during the boot sequence"]https://i.ibb.co/h7Kz9hx/asus-boot-freeze-example.jpg[/IMG]

And when I put my TF101 in APX mode (Power + Volume down AND after Volume up), TWRP disappeared and the APX mode shows me only an exclamation point with an horizontal scrolling bar... and after 1 or 2 minutes begins a cold boot.

Example of what I see in APX mode:

[IMG="ASUS APX mode broken"]https://img.xda-cdn.com/Ja4QT-tFPJVYr0vua96kOf3aNfI=/http%3A%2F%2Ftheappslab.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F08%2Fsurgery.png[/IMG]

Now I cannot find a solution to unbrick the TF101 or to get back an functional APX mode.

Does someone know a solution to get out of this situation?

Thanks for any help.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoyomaster73:
Bonjour,

Votre reponse n'est pas facile a lire car les accents sont remplaces par leur encodage HTML... donc sur ce forum, il vaut sans doute mieux ecrire sans les accents :D

Si vous avez eu du mal a traduire ce que j'ai ecrit, il suffit d'utiliser le traducteur de Google :

https://translate.google.fr

Ma methode est differente car dans mon cas la tablette etait "brickee".

Je n'accedais pas a un systeme "recovery" type "ClockworkMod".

Dans votre cas, de memoire, il faut effectivement passer par le systeme "recovery".

Moi avant que cela commence a planter completement j'utilisais le systeme "recovery" : TWRP version 2.8.1.1 (cherchez sur internet le fichier zip : signed_twrp-2.8.1.1_tf101.zip)

Vous devriez pouvoir mettre les fichiers ZIP utiles (le systeme + "google apps" ).

Pour le systeme, j'utilisais KatKiss version 5.1.030c (cherchez sur internet le fichier zip : KatKiss-5.1_030c.zip)

Pour les applications Google, j'utilisais :

- soit gapps-KatKiss-5.1_20150920.zip

- soit open_gapps-arm-5.1-nano-20160904.zip

Je ne sais plus exactement.

Mais pour cela, effectivement il faut que vous puissiez mettre cela sur une carte SD qui soit reconnue par la tablette ASUS TF101

Dans votre cas :

- soit la carte SD est hors service

- soit elle n'est pas formattee dans le bon format (je crois qu'il faut qu'elle soit formattee en FAT32, mais c'est a verifier).

Il y a pas mal de tutos qui expliquent comment faire pour reinitialiser un systeme ou meme changer un systeme en passant par le "recovery" et les fichiers ZIP cites.

Par exemple celui-ci :

https://www.phonandroid.com/forum/threads/rom-5-1-1-i9100-slimlp-beta-12-uber-4-9-unofficial.114418/

Il faut que vous vous inscriviez sur le forum "phonandroid" pour avoir toutes les explications.

La technique que j'ai expliquee c'est quand on veut remettre la derniere version officielle d'ASUS.

C'est plus complique et aussi beaucoup plus risque que de passer par le "recovery" mais dans mon cas je n'avais pas le choix, le "recovery" ne fonctionnait plus.

Il me restait plus que la solution en mode "APX" que j'ai expliquee.

Celle-ci ne necessite pas de carte SD.

Il faut connecter la tablette a un PC avec un cable USB fonctionnel.

Bon courage.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
Hello,

I played, a few days ago, with "Pocket UAE" wich is an Amiga emulator.

In this emulator, you can choose your display "driver". When I tried the "DIB driver", I was very surprised about the quality of the scrollings ... There were no more "wave" effects, the scrolling was really nice and clean.

Of course, this emulator runs a bit slow on the Kaiser, but the "DIB driver" does not run slower than the default display driver.

I was wondering what is this "DIB driver", I've never seen it before (and it is a very old emulator...), and it seems to have a very good effect on my Kaiser (with the HTC 6.1 ROM).

Does anyone know what is this "DIB driver" ?

Maybe there can be a way to use it for other softwares (video reading may be great with it !).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Fared:
well, google university informs me that "DIB" can mean...

Device-independent bitmap - This is an orphaned Windows image format. It stands for Device Independent Bitmap and was part of Microsoft's Great Plan for Windows 95; the DIB code in Win 95 is designed to simplify the creation of display drivers for new video cards by doing most of the grunt work in the operating system instead of in the driver. DIB never really took off.

Dual Independent Bus - architecture introduced in the Intel's Pentium II to connect the processor, memory, and L2 cache.

not sure how relevant it all is...

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
Thanks, but it's related to Windows. It may be the same thing for Windows Mobile but I don't know ... It's very strange that we can't find any information about this driver, it seems to be really working well on the Kaiser.

after each lock when i turn the screen on with double tap or power button screen is unresponsive for good 3 seconds. This started happening after the latest camera fix update.

Have you restarted the phone? It didn't work until I restart mine.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Virgo_Guy:
Ofcourse I did. In fact restarted one more time since it didn't resolve after the first restart, post disabling the optimization.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] sjandroiddeveloper:
I did this already and while it feels like fingerprint is faster, unfortunately this is a screen issue. You see if the screen is off and i put the finger in the correct spot it always scans my finger without any lag. The issue is occurs when -

a) I have unlocked the phone using above way, then the screen becomes unresponsive right after unlocking.

b) The screen is off and i either press the power button or double tap to wake, then the screen will be unresponsive and its during this time the fingerprint scanner doesn't scan (because the scanner doesn't know it needs to scan since the touch is unresponsive)

so TL;DR its not a FP scanner issue.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] blackrome0:
Hi guys,

Apologies if this is the wrong thread but wasn't sure where to post this.

Quick question....

I currently have the s10e. Is it worth upgrading to the note 10, s20 or s20+?

Main things for me are battery life, portability and performance, not bothered about the camera as I hardly ever use it.

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] kezzuki:
I am in an extremely similar situation. I had the S10E since its launch day and traded in to upgrade to S20 on s20's launch day lol

It costed me 1050 canadian dollars (after tax) after the trade in.

I love it. Better battery life, better performance for sure.

With a smart phone, i just use SNS and read news. So how the screen looks and portability are the top 2 criteria. That was why I bought S10E last year.

The S20, well, 120Hz is amazing and the punch hole is about 1/2 the diameter, such a great upgrade on the screen. As for portability, S20 is a tiny tiny bit narrower, and about 1.5cm longer, which is not too bad at all, given that using it with one hand is still very easy.

As for camera, having a telephoto lens, well, is definitely better than not having one lol

So the upgrade is very noticeable. I would say it is a much better experience.

One thing about portability. The s20 is likely to be the most portable flagship of 2020. I was waiting for news on the Oneplus phones and Redmi k30 pro earlier this year, but found that they are very likely all going to be noticably bigger than the S20, especially the width.

Knowing this, i just instantly decide to get the S20. No need to wait for the other ones at all. Physical form factors are not something that software can make up for.

hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] blackrome0:
Sups Kezzuki :)

Thanks for the reply back, think im gonna go with the s20 plus for the extra battery life :) snapdragon model of course :)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] jasons1004:
Just don't get the exynos version.. and get s20>note10

I have the snapdragon s20plus U1

It is fantastic all around.

Only "issue" is face id is not reliable enough and fingerprint is not as good as the 7 pro I came from but works well after you get the muscle memory down.

I had the s10e and hell yes s20 would be nice upgrade imo. 120hz is very nice.

I'd recommend the plus but the regular s20 wouldn't be as big a jump in size for you as the plus would be.

Attached the trade in value on Samsung site.

I got 600 for a pixel 4 I paid 400 for.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] blackrome0:
Thanks for the reply Jason :)

The problem is that I'm in UK (London) so here we only have the exynos version. I'd have to import the Snapdragon version from a reputable website seller which I'll need to do research on

I kinda figured the s20 plus would be the sensible choice, but I keep thinking is the extra 500mah on the s20 plus worth the extra £100 from the regular s20
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] mishufac:
I also switched from the S10e. Yes, it's bigger but after a few days you'll get used to it. I got the exynos version because I live in Romania, but I do not recommend. It gets pretty hot and the games play better on s10e(real racing 3). Battery life it's better with 120hz display. Tomorrow I'll get the snapdragon and for a few days I will have them both. I opened a thread in "discussion" and I'll post the differences.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] jasons1004:
Maybe pixel 4xl for you then (do not get regular P4) or maybe a oneplus? I would not get the exy s20 for sure.

I mean....the s10e still good too. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] UZ7:
If you're coming from an S10E SD855 version then it wont be worth it unless they make some improvements or if the issues currently bogging people down is software related and will be fixed eventually on the Exynos 990 versions. The SD865 versions of the S20 is pretty much solid from battery life to not heating up as much = in turn not thermal throttling which leads to low fps in games and maybe some hitching/chugging when browsing regularly. If its software related and they can make improvements on it then it wouldn't be so bad.

Portability and Battery sizes are as follows:

s10e

5.8"

3100mAh

6.3"

If you don't game, get the Exynos, no issues
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] sublimaze:
If you are still on the fence, here are some things to consider:

1. S20 and S10e are the same width, but S20 is 7% taller (5.97 mm vs 5.60 mm) so you'll have to stretch a little more to reach S20 notification panel

2. S20 display is 7% larger (6.2" vs 5.8")

3. S20 screen pixel density is 29% higher (566 ppi vs 438 ppi)

4. Screen-to-body ratio. S20 88.6% vs S10e 83.4%. That doesn't sound like much difference, but you see the difference when placed side-by-side

5. S20 battery is 29% larger (4000 mAh vs 3100 mAh)

6. S20 has twice as much RAM (12 GB vs 6 GB)

7. S20 camera is better

8. S20 will be supported longer

9. S10e fingerprint reader is better

10. S10e has 3.5 mm audio jack
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] blackrome0:
You're right I am still on the fence, but looking at the s20+ now because of the bigger battery

I know it'll be a wider which I'll have to deal with, the tallness doesn't bother me though as I can just swipe down anywhere on the screen to bring down notifications (Nova)

Battery lasting all day is an absolute must

Not bothered about the camera, never really take any pictures of anything

Performance is a big thing, needs to be snappy like this s10e

Will for sure miss the headphone Jack. I was actually just now looking at the LG V60, looks like a sick device especially with that day and a half battery life, but is just waaaay to big
