Hi,

I got my 8525 secondhand off ebay, and I'm having problems with it. I did a clear storage or a reset of sort, and I'm stuck in loop of screen alignings. Originally, before I did the reset, the touch screen does not respond when I tap on the top right, and the screen alignment loop was also there when I chose to align screen and I had to take out the battery to fix it. I notice small pieces of cardboard stuck in between the side of the lcd and casing so would that be the problem here? Any help is appreciated, thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Sounds like the digitizer is stuffed... You may have to replace the LCD.

You can get them off EBay for $70AUD and there is a Service Manual so you can open and fix yourself. Here - http://michael-channon.spaces.live....ner=1&partqs=cat=Download+HTC+Service+Manuals

Its not too hard but you will need a small flat blde screwdriver, a small phillips head and a size 6 torque key.

All the best of luck,

Cheers...:D

Thanks Ultramag

I did a bit of research, and I came across this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=405432

It seems we both have a similar problem. Would the software method work for my case? I want to avoid dismantling the hardware if possible.

Thanks again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Yes and no. You need another Hermes (same model) to get the alignment settings from and this is only to get the phone operational so you can use it. It WON'T fix the touchscreen, Its just a stopgap measure until you replace the faulty LCD.

I was lucky as I have a few friends who I sorta got into the hermes who I could get the settings off. You can navigate around your hermes without th touchscreen but its a REAL *****. Bought a couple of Jasjams off the net and was lucky enough that BOTH worked. Still put my mainboard into 1 and gave the other to a friend who was having similar issues...

Hope that helps...

Hey guys,

My 2 year old S8's screen colors started spazzing out today. Everything has gotten a very green hue to it, including blacks. There's even a little flickering occasionally and some weird shadows have appeared for a few seconds.

Anyone know what this means/how to fix it? I think I'm going to try factory resetting :(

I'm in the same boat - need new battery and cannot find a place to buy it. Anyone has dimensions of the battery l16c3k31, l16d3k31. Googling did not help. There are Yoga 2 batteries out there and I wonder if it would fit into Yoga 3 Plus
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus Questions & Answers] Seryogin:
rebuild

Ended up rebuilding my battery using 3 new Panasonic 18650 Li-ion NCR18650G Japan 3600mAh 3.7V cells. There are some video tutorials on how to do that if you're handy with a soldering iron.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus Questions & Answers] gelezniyden:
Hi Seryogin, I also reassembled my battery, but unfortunately it is just as quickly drained, I suspect that it is necessary to calibrate it somehow. Tell me please, did you calibrate it somehow or did everything immediately work out of the box ?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus Questions & Answers] gelezniyden:
I took out the battery, saw that one contact moved away from the controller, as a result, 2 banks of 18650 were not involved in the power circuit, which is why the capacity was insufficient when connected in parallel. I solved the problem by soldering the contact. Now everything is working as expected, the charge holds for a long time and confidently.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus Questions & Answers] HenrikM:
Hi Gelezniyden

I had battery problems on my Tab 3 plus, to a point where the battery would drain 1% per minute, even after factory reset, and nothing installed when on. No battery drain when off.

So searched the planet for a replacement battery, but no luck. So went ahead and did a rebuild. With 3 new 18650. Panasonic 3100mAh 10 A. Everything went fine, and the tab started up after the "heart surgery" however I still have a battery drain. But different. The tab will charge to 100%, and then I can use it for 30 min or more without it leaving 100%. But the after a while the battery curve changes and it starts dropping quickly again. Any calibration needed ? And what is the wire connector you talk about, is it the cable going to the BMS board on the battery. Hate to have to open up the battery again it was a super tight fit after the rebuild.

Thanks

Henrik

My contact images looked OK on my Trinity, and are quite large medium quality jpegs, and yet on the Diamond flip pages, the images are a horrible blocky blurred mess

How do I get the images to be nice and clear?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Mr.Eliot:
That happend to me too...

I think it depends on how you assign the image to the contact, seems to be a bug (or WM feature? ;) ).

When you add the image via the WM Contacts it gets blurry. But when you use the Touchflo Interface they are sharp as they should be! :)

Hello friends,

I am not new with locking/unlocking, flashing roms....

I used to install different roms and had different problems but never met something like this.

so the problem is:

I unlocked my phone, installed twrp and tried to flash different roms (OOS, Lineage, Pixel experience) but it is still rebooting to fastboot and Im not able to go back to twrp recovery unless I flash bacl stock rom via miflash and flash twrp again.

I tried different twrps as well, wiped data, factory reset, advanced wipe.. still not able to flash any rom.

any advise?

Thanks in advance :good:
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
When flashing over stock MIUI you need to format data in TWRP. (Format, not wipe, need to type 'yes' to confirm.

Also, when restoring MIUI, make sure you boot into MIUI once before you flash anything else.

Use the latest 3.3.1-32 TWRP from here

https://xdaforums.com/k20-pro/devel...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568

Restore MIUI and boot into it.

Flash TWRP and boot into TWRP

Do a factory reset.

Format data.

Reboot into TWRP - this ensures the formatted data partition is mounted properly.

Flash the ROM, plus any extras.

Boot into system.

Everything should be good.

Maybe its problem with vbmeta, try to flash vbmeta first, but you need to boot to twrp trough adb command, then flash vbmeta, than flash twrp, reboot to twrp and flash vendor, rom if you want to ide custom rom, not Stock
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
There shouldn't be any need to flash vbmeta.

In theory vbmeta would only be needed if you want to stick with MIUI, but without root, but want to install TWRP, maybe to debloat.

Flashing Magisk or flashing a custom ROM should remove the need to flash vbmeta.

If you're already on the latest MIUI there is no need to flash any vendor files, as they're already installed.

you can place at least SOME off your favorites in the positions you want.. and then it will just be one long press.. and it will dial.

Turn off TF3D. Ive heard is does HUGE things for the interface speed, and you'll get your tasks back (first thing Im going to do when I get a sprint diamond on this side of the pond)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] fraudulent:
I agree on almost every point

Not having used touch before, I really can't say anything bad about the navigation. To me it's a revolution, but it's not quite there yet.

The biggest flaw is the biggest asset. Let me explain.

The biggest asset to this device is the screen. I have never liked the screen on any of the QVGA devices I have used (Wizard and Hermes). The VGA screen on the Diamond is fantastic! Crisp and easy to read, even in direct sunlight. The words by HTC "Not too big, not too small" really sums up my feelings about it. However. Screen size is relative to what you display on it. I'm sure a lot of research, testing and effort went in to decide the size of the elements on the TF3D interface. Personally I would have designed it differently.

The main professional reason I choose to use a WiMo is Active Sync OTA (Over-The-Air). Having direct push of Mail, Calendar and Contacts to my device is critical in my profession. This HAS to work, it has to be easy to use, and easy to read. On the Diamond it works fantastically. Lots better than on the Hermes. It takes some getting used to, when you have never used touchflo before.

The touch interface has to be finger friendly, demanding finger sized icons and buttons. Having a small screen required HTC to use the entire screen. That makes you wish for a larger screen, yet a larger screen would require a larger device and I dont want that. Dilemma.

Like you said, the TF3D interface lacks in visual feedback. This could be replaced by tactile feedback. The same technology used in the game TEETER could be used to give me feedback on my actions.

Being a WiMo certified pro I know that the main obstacle for HTC is WiMo itself, or rather the Windows CE it is built upon. Win CE 5 is nowhere near a realtime OS and the switch to Win CE 6 (afaik it will be the foundation for WiMo 7) will be a major leap. CE6 is not a RTOS either, but it has the means to enable truly great applications. I look forward to what Developers will create for WiMo7.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Embedded_CE_6.0)

The only thing I really dislike on my Diamond is the scrollwheel. I clearly does not work like you would expect it to. Unintuitive. And the Up/Down/Left/Right navigation around it is near unusable. Using the touch screen works though so it is not a showstopper for me.

Speed of the interface is good once you have used the cache size tweaks. Not great but good.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] RSkillz:
I fully agree on the speed comment, 527mhz... but it seems it's different mhz compared to my HTC Herald (P4350).

On my Herald I also have WM6.1, a 200mhz cpu (o'ced to 240 mhz) and everything starts faster!

I've got the 1.37.xxx.3 rom on my Diamond, TF3D disabled and still it's slower.

Very strange indeed.

what a crap...

THE SPEED

Put one of the new ROMs on it (Dutty, Walshieau), runs like hell. No delay here!

TFL3D - INTERFACE

Simply switch TF3D off if you don't like it.

And use an existing tool for your today (SPB Mobile Shell ect.).

COMMON ACTIONS, E.G. CALLING PEOPLE

Disable the Diamond dialer, you get your traditional dialer back.

HOME SCREEN (TFL3D again really)

Simply switch TF3D off.

Use an existing tool for today (SPB Mobile Shell ect.).

THE JOYPAD

Get used to it, it works perfect after a few weeks.

NO MINI SD CARD SLOT

Ok, maybe you got a point...

On the other hand: do you really need ALL your music all the time. A sync now and then for other music isn't that hard.

GROSS GREASINESS

Ok, the shiny cover gets greasy. But is't so beautiful,,,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tokyoahead:
True, True

Finally I have to say that I am quite happy with the Diamond. I think one has to be careful anyhow when comparing it 1-1 with the iPhone. I guess you can say that the screen is better on the one and the memory better on the other phone. However, simply the size and the memory as well as the lacking headphone jack on the HTC make it a completely different device.

The iPhone is a multimedia-oriented phone that is more for the leasure-oriented person and the Diamond more for the practical Business-oriented person.

The bigger screen of the Iphone and its memory is more for casual browsing and large music storage and the higher resolution and smaller size is more for the business tasks such as scheduling and reading.

However as noted before, the HTC has some issues that should be fixed ASAP, such as the speed of the interface and an adjustable today screen.

One wish for an add on for me would be a flat backside cover. Its impossible to type on it while it lies on a table because the device tilts with the touch form above. It also adds unnecessary thickness to the device, even if its only a millimeter or less. Also, there are some strange software issues, like the disabled GPS Camera and the fact that alarms and SMS do not proplery cause pop-ups but instead have to be called up with 2-3 clicks. In addition to that, the TF3D does not allow the use of alternative calendar/contact software which is quite annoying.

The issue with the greasy screen is inherent to the type of device. I have seen my share of earprints and fingerswipes on iPhones and other touch devices just the same. The good thing here is that there are no raised borders around the glass, so you can rub it against your shirt/pants and get a clear screen easily.

All in all I still think its a great device. If someone really needs the extra speed, they can disable TF3D and work with it as a normal WiMo 6.1 device. The comparisons with the iPhone are in my opinion not justified as written above, since the two are directed at different audiences.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] allenf:
The Diamond is the best WM phone I have used so far.

Touchflo is a nice bit of eye candy for one's non-smartphone using friends but is actually a fairly crappy thing for seasoned WM users, we know WM is a little clunky but love it nonetheless :D

SPB Mobile Shell (no affiliation here...) is my ticket to usability, maybe HTC should have simply licensed it and be done with it?

Battery life is not great, but just about ok.

GPS lock is blazingly fast - I'm really surprised how quick this is.

Love the form factor and build quality, not interested in any music playing capabilities.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tokyoahead:
Agree. I think its mainly the QuickGPS application. This is one drawback of the iPhone: No Mapping software so far.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Mike Wagstaff:
With regards to TouchFlo 3D speed, I'm using dutty's v2 ROM and it's amazingly responsive compared to the original...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=407572

It makes a huge difference to the phone's usability so if you haven't checked out a ROM upgrade, I would strongly recommend you do so. It's a shame that HTC rushed the hardware out of the door with their software performing as badly as it did.

Despite that, niggling issues persist. For example, why is there a delay when I hit the "new text message" icon before the text message screen appears? This is completely inexcusable, and it would be interesting to know whether this is the fault of HTC or the underlying OS.

It's such a shame that these issues still exist as I reckon that otherwise, the Diamond currently has the iphone beaten in just about every department.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Riel:
Some things I also think: this is not true.

Speed is fine of TFLO3D, after 2 days use it just works.

With in mind the non-hardcore user (telephone user) this is a very good 'phone' menu were much-used functionality gets withing touch very fast.

And everything works here. No problems at all.

Newer ROMs (stock or cooked) which are based on 1.93.xxx.x make city selection a breeze in two ways:

1. It defaults to the country you're in

2. It provides you with a RandomAccess-like alphabetical list which you can tap and drag to the letter of your choice- brilliant!!
