I agree, but I was just aiming to discard completely that the back is causing the issue. It all sounds really odd.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] curvatura9:
I've noticed that the gps won't fix if you use the diamond without the back cover, even if you use the original battery. Probably the cover switches something in the gps module when in its place

1800ma battery for diamond

Hi

This guy is selling it on ebay cheaper than 22 pounds but I can't get one from him until Sept for Hong Kong he said it's not available, not sure why.

But here is the link:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Aqrab:
when you get one dont forget to post some info about it and of course a ton of pictures of this battery ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] nurotic:
Hopefully the GPS issue is just a glitch!

But the key question has still not been answered.

How long has the extended Battery lasted after a full charge?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] teddyen66:
I just received mine and GPS is working with the new battery, however the signal may be somewhat lower.

The design is just like the original cover, but about 5-6 mm thicker.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] murks_muell:
According to the Diamond service manual the GPS coaxial cable runs from top to bottom just next to the battery. I'm not sure where the antenna actually is located at but it seems its on the upmost part of the case and said cable is connecting the circuit in the bottom with the antenna in the top part.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] nuumuun:
so it gets to about 18mm in thickness. im starting to seriously think of upgrading to touch pro.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] JeeHaa:
Could you please measure the exact thickness with new cover? Is it 17mm?

And has battery life really doubled (you could do a quick-test with GPS + screen on, which was about 1.5h with the 900MAh battery)?

Has photo quality improved with the new cover?

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Aqrab:
could you post some pictures for it :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] salada2k:
Be patient. Seidio will have their OEM sized extended battery out shortly. End of July they said. It should be around the 1100maH mark but same size as original. They have done this before for other phones. I'm at least hanging back til I hear something about that.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] a_friend:
took the battery off charge this morning at 11am I've had my data connection on and DSDPA as well as push email. Been on the net for about an hour used RSShub. Google maps with GPS on now the time is 11:45 pm, battery is @60% charge.

Does the cover look thick Yes

Does it feel Thick No

why not: because of the beveled edges

Does the cover fit as good as the original No

Has the phone reset when using this battery YES :eek:

Does the phone feel as hot: well not as much as before

I have the ebay on order

Will i but the official extended battery: depends on battery life with all functions set to on as above.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Thom4s:
With the extended battery, GPS does not work for me either.

Also, I don't understand why the back cover is so thick? The battery itself is double the thickness of the original one. This means to fit the battery all that is needed is a slight, possibly stylisch, bump in the back cover.

Why do they waste so much space by making the whole back cover come out that much? I hope there's other replacement covers coming out. I would also like to replace that glossy back surface with something rubberized, easyer to hold and would look more 'bussines' then 'play' in a stylish way.

The battery itself i'm very happy with. I can't say exact figures but it was like 40% charged when it arrived, I started using it immidiately and after 2 days it's still like 35% or something. I'm not a heavy user it's like 15mins calls, 10 texts, 30min surfing, 30min bluetooth and in total maybe 1h of other stuff (checking time, reading messages, agenda etc...) each day. No regular GPS use. So I'm very happy with the caapcity of the batter but the back cover SUCKS.

1800 mAh maximum ?

No other batteries with more capacity ???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Baronic:
i fail to see how 1800mah battery with that slightly increased thickness can cause total GPS failure. i mean, the worse is slower and longer time to connect but total failure??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Spaca:
I think reason isn't cover, but maybe 1800mAh battery doesn't give enough power to use GPS. I asked from Clove and they told that manufacturer Cameron Sino agreed that 1800mAh battery has problems with GPS!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Monty Burns:
I'm sending mine back to clove. Normaly I wouldn't bother but this to me is a matter of principle.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Baronic:
could you clarify what you meant by "not enough power to use GPS"? I didnt quite understand that sentence lol. how can it have not enough power, when it has, erm, double capacity? What if i connect it to a car charger?

upon returning the battery do they give you your money back? i asked my sis to buy one for me from UK before seeing this thread, and she'll be back in Malaysia soon. its bloody expensive for me T.T and its kinda pointless if cannot use GPS.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] omarko:
damn ... thats quite thick ! bummer ... no way I want my phone be like that ...

one of the reasons why I love my HTC Diamond is because its so nice and thin ...

bummer, looks like Im stuck with the orig battery and frequent charges.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] luzok:

It is the same as the one in your picture.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] J-Tune:
wow its a lot thicker than I thought it would be.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] ChurchofAmon:
I actually don't mind the look of it even with the extra thickness... I mean I have purchased my TD after owning a Sony K750i for two years so the extra heft isn't a problem, and I think it looks much better than the extended batteries on ebay that are slim except for a pronounced hump where the battery is...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] informatico:
You guys

it's crazy but the problem for the gps is the back cover

i tried with my original battery to take off the back cover and it lost the gps signal

So even with the original battery without the back cover you have no signal at all try it :).

then i put the cover near my phone and the signal returns even without closing the cover correctly just keeping it attached to my phone so it just acts as an antenna can you people who have the 1800 mah battery try to take off the fat back cover and keep the original back cover attached and confirm if there is gps signal?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] dazza9075:
intrestly that 1800 battery has been pulled from the site that one of the frst posters mentioned, ive asked for details.

Its possible that an increase in battery size could make a EM barrier but that wouldnt really explain things since thephone "should" work the other way up, unless it has some major radiation leakage or something, but if the original case has some form of metal to it, the phone might use that as a antena, simple thing to check would be

firstly

original battery and back

then extended battery and extended back

then try original battery and extended back

then try both batteries and both backs

if someone could to that it would clear up any confusion about whats going on
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] faisal:
Extended battery [1800 mAh from Clove] and GPS

I tried to test this today:-

ROM SwiftBL Diamond v5.0; Radio 1.00.25.07

Static position, cold fix, under clear sky, under car screen; Location - Lahore, Pakistan

Phone and GPRS on; Reset [battery removal] between each step

GPS software = Garmin XT

Extended battery, with its own cover = no satellites or 3d fix in 5 minutes

Extended battery, without any cover = no satellites or 3d fix in 5 minutes

Standard battery, without any cover = no satellites or 3d fix in 5 minutes

Standard battery, with its own cover = 2 satellites within 20 seconds, 3d fix in 4 min 50 sec

I did NOT try extended battery + placement of the standard cover nearby [as suggested by someone here on this forum] but it seems that the placement of the standard back cover has something to do with improving the GPS signal

Perhaps someone can repeat this to confirm...

Edit:

Some further testing

Extended battery, without any cover = no satellites or 3d fix in 5 minutes

Without disconnecting, placed original supplied cover at the back, nothing for another 5 minutes

Standard battery, without any cover = no satellites or 3d fix in 5 minutes

Without disconnecting, placed original cover in place, nothing for another 5 minutes

Remove and reinsert standard battery, with standard cover in place, restart Garmin XT, fix within 2 minutes

Remove and reinsert standard battery, without cover, no fix or satellites for 10 minutes

Remove and reinsert standard battery, with standard cover, again, fix within a minute

All a bit confusing but it seems that the only setting i get a fix is with the original battery+original cover in place.

I guess if someone else could replicate these findings, we may be nearer an answer
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] jakontil:
darn! and i have ordered mine!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] dazza9075:
thats really odd, i wonder if the battery cover pushes some contacts or bridges a connection to make the GPS work or perhaps improve reception

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] naiku:
Lately my phone has not been accepting my fingerprint every time to unlock it, so earlier today I went to scan a new fingerprint and discovered my PIN no longer works.

I've tried opening a couple things that require the PIN as well as locking the phone, but despite being the same PIN that's been working for ages, today it is no longer accepted.

I'm reluctant to restart the phone as it requires a PIN after a restart, but I'd like to get this fixed, ideally without a factory reset. As is, I can't get to any security settings and when the fingerprint is not recognized cannot open many apps. Anyone experienced this? Found some threads about the S8 having this issue, but not the Note 10+.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Village_Idiot:
Take it to the FBI. Otherwise, you're probably have to do a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
So, you can unlock the phone, and some apps can not be opened? Or, you have no lockscreen, but only apps require pin or fingerprint?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] naiku:
I can unlock via fingerprint, but say if I want to add a new fingerprint, it asks for the PIN first, entering the PIN that previously worked now no longer works.

Similarly, was trying to unlock an app via fingerprint which wasn't being recognized, so the phone then switched to requiring a PIN and failed to accept it.

If i were to restart and it says "PIN required after restart" then I'd be potentiality screwed if it won't accept the PIN.

Randomly, after doing nothing and the phone sitting on my desk, it's all of a sudden working again. No idea if it will remain working or decide the PIN is incorrect again though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] ultramag69:
What I'd do then is turn off all the security, if it lets you then set up security again.

If you are feeling daring, kill all the security, do a factory reset and then set up again...

Might be a corrupt file that is causing issues...
[Xposed General] Davy49:
Hi,

At times like this I really wish that I knew more about android than I do, but then again that's part of the reason there are site's like reddit. What I'm trying to do is use the sudohide app to solve the issue I've been having as far as keeping it from trying to update itself and becoming enabled again. For my youtube stuff I use the vanced app which at least for me better than the real youtube app. When I open up the sudohide app I receive a prompt that says xposed framework is not installed. Does my lg v30 phone have to be rooted to be able to use the sudohide app? If so I really need to get it rooted, of course if it's rooted I can probably just get rid of youtube anyway.

Thanks
[Xposed General] zipsu:
Sudohide is an (ed)xposed module, which needs root to run in the first place, so you need to unlock your device unless you haven't done so already (it will wipe all your data, backup first), flash TWRP which replaces your stock "recovery" program which is originally used to do factory resets etc, but twrp can do much more. Then flash magisk in twrp, your phone is now rooted, now you can install riru core (dependency for edxposed) and edxposed framework systemlessly, writing directly to system will definitely break safetynet, which is why this is the popular way of rooting these days. Some tinkering around is needed to keep safetynet passing (otherwise you'll lose access to some banking apps, some games, netflix will work, but you can't install it from play store). Just rooting lets you access all the read-only partitions and install magisk modules that take advantage of that, xposed lets you mess with the behavior of user/system apps.
[Xposed General] Davy49:
Hi zipsu,

Of course thanks so much for your feedback, and as silly as it might sound..all I have to do now is work up my courage and attempt to root my lg v30 phone. I know that a lot of user's say that it's actually pretty simple, but I think they have more knowledge about android that I currently have. It probably doesn't matter but I'm currently running android version 9.0 on my phone.

When my Kaiser is slow - I restart it by the stylus.

Sometimes it restarts in bootloader mode and stuck in it.

After that everytime I restart, it restarts in bootloader mode.

After that it starts its OS.

Do you have an solution ?

Hey guys,

I have been missing omniswitch since I updated to android 10 on miui and luckily just found a link on xda in another thread where you can download omniswitch and install it directly.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81750559&postcount=258

All credits to the original devs for extracting the apk and making it available for all.

NOTE: I'm not sure but a wild guess that you need to have disabled the signature verification using another method ;) for this apk to work else you might end up in error "Error-omniswitch restricted mode:failed to gain system permission." and force close.

Since I already had this disabled for using the vanced youtube, omniswitch worked directly after install.

I dislike having many platforms and bloatware, but I also prefer not to unlock my bootloader and prefer not to root my phones due to security concerns. This is why I really like Pixel phones because they are 100% Android, although original unlocked stock Pixel firmware does come with some VZW (Verizon Wireless) packages that are inactive unless Verizon is the carrier.

How bloated is stock OnePlus 8 Pro with non-Android software? Is that software necessary for the phone to function?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] varunpilankar:
Oxygen OS is which much similar to Pixel phones but with more functionality in settings.

There are no such bloatware compared to other OEMs like Samsung, LG, MIUI, etc.

You can try some update reviews/walk through of Oxygen OS which might give you a very good insight.

Even I am very much on the same thoughts, hate bloatwares.

But after moving using OnePlus devices there no other better phone out there.. Trust me.

You can always choose to remove the remaining ( no real bloatware is present in my opinion ) stuff using adb. No need for root or unlocked bootloader
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] DirtyAngelicaSecured:
No, you can't even disable some bloatware that comes with some phones, let alone remove it. That is why I was specifically asking whether OnePlus 8 Pro comes with bloatware.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] DirtyAngelicaSecured:
Thanks, I will look into it, although I wish there was a package name dump or something similar that would show exactly what OnePlus 8 Pro has in stock firmware. I guess I could just learn to unpackage factory images to learn all that myself.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] patensas:
You can disable everything, you're just saying you can't do it or don't know how to do it. Without root you can disable every single package using adb. If you disagree do tell me what can't be removed or at least disabled and I'll gladly show you're wrong
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] DirtyAngelicaSecured:
You might be right... I am still very new at this, trying to get a phone that is secure, customizable, and bloatware-free, but it seems impossible. AFAIK, aside from GSMK/ESD and BlackBox cryptophones, no phone can offer protection and/or detection of IMSI catchers and/or devices that can mimic cell tower to downgrade your LTE to connection to 2G/3G to look into your SMS or eavesdrop on your phone calls. That leaves ability to filter telemetry, removal of needless applications, and encrypted Wi-Fi calling via VPN as the only semi-secure method of communication. Phones like Sirin Finney are supposed to excel at that, but based on the following chart, your standard Pixel 4/4 XL are the better options - https://img.gadgethacks.com/img/46/...st-phones-for-privacy-security-2020.w1456.jpg .

There doesn't even appear to be a phone that can force "LTE-only or kill connection" (no 2G/3G downgrade) feature.
