[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] AndyCr15:
I currently have a Kaiser (HTC TyTnII on UK Orange) but have only just looked into the HTC Touch Diamond... and wow, does it look nice!

On the Orange website it's saying I can't upgrade my phone until May next year. eBay has the Diamond at around £350.

So, I guess I'm wondering if anyone can advise me. Are Orange likely to cut me a deal if I call them up? I guess I'm bound to a contract with them at present so I can't say I'm leaving them. Will it be easiest just to buy one from eBay?

Is it worth it? Is the Touch Pro out or coming out soon? Should I wait for that?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Teppic24:
If you can't upgrade until May then you'll get little joy out of Orange I'm afraid. You have to be in the last three months of your contract before they'll let you upgrade. However, saying that you've got nothing to lose by calling them and you may be able to get a deal if you change your package to a more expensive one.

Cal them first before going the eBay route - as I said you've got nothing to lose.

Is it worth it? Hell, yeah! I was torn between the Diamond and waiting for the Pro, but impatience got the better of me and I plumped for the Diamond.

Even though I've only had it a day I can definitely say that it is fantastic! It's up to you if you want to wait for the Pro. I've come from a TyTN II myself and I sat back and really thought about it before going for the Diamond, and basically asked myself two questions:

1. How often did I use the keypad? Very rarely, maybe three times in the eight months that I owned the phone.

2. How much free space did I have on my 4Gb SD card? 2.5Gb, so for me having 4Gb of non-upgradable storage wasn't an issue.

The final thing that swung it for me was the size of the thing. It's good to have a PDA that's "phone sized", rather than being a huge brick.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tomchap:
Thats a good idea :) Have a word with Orange and twist there arms, see what you can do. I think my missus is due an Upgrade in August and im sure she will go for the Diamond (but as shes skint, I think shes gonna put it on eBay!!!!!!!)

I love my diamond and have used phones with hardware keyboards and like the post above says, how often do you really use it?

Software professionals and IT gurus would probably miss it as im sure using a hardware keyboard and using the Remote Desktop software is a great combination, but the VGA screen is excellent on the Diamond, its the best phone ive ever owned (and ive had quite a few...see my signature!)

Diamond = Thumbs up. Theres sooo much software and tweaks out at the moment with more software coming out just around the corner!

The futures bright, the futures...errr...Diamond? :) hehe!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] AndyCr15:
Wow, how did you cope without the keypad? I think I probably use it 10-20 times a day and this is the main reason I'm holding back on upgrading I guess.

It looks a fantastic piece of kit... but I don't think I'd like using an onscreen keyboard :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ytboy4:
How long have you been with Orange?

If it's over a couple of years remind them how much money they have had off you and if that doesn't work tell them you will consider cancelling the contract. Generally they want to keep customers so will eventually give in.

Also, it's always good to ask to speak to their line manager if they can't help.

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] gtd2000:
I've owned this TCL TV for around 5 months now and I'm generally pleased with the image quality overall but the apps and navigation is pretty crap. I can't even imagine why 90% of the apps available are even offered as there's hardly anything that's even recognisable!

I was looking into perhaps "side-loading" a better browser (it doesn't get much worse than the included T-Browser!) but I can't see any option in the settings menu to enable "remote debug" to facilitate possible ES File Explorer functionality.

Is it even possible to side load onto this TV?

I know you can access the "secret" menu by typing 1950 when in the contrast section of the display menu.

Any ideas? :fingers-crossed:
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] gtd2000:
Don't all rush at once then :fingers-crossed:
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] FaserF:
I don't understand the problem. Just download the apk on a PC to a USB drive, put the USB drive into your PC and then install the apk file with any Android TV file explorer.

That's it :)
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] gtd2000:
That's why I asked

So without enabling "remote debug", how do I install the apk file on the USB stick without an Android TV file explorer installed on the TV.....?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] FaserF:
Why do you need remote debug? As said in my post, just copy the apk from a PC to a USB drive and plug in the usb drive into your PC. There is no need for the remote debug option to install an apk locally.

Other options to sideload apps are with wireless adb (enabling usb debugging in the developer settings) or download a compatible file explorer (for example ES File Explorer) where you can connect to a cloud storage, then upload the apk for example to google drive and then sign in with your google drive in that file explorer.
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] gtd2000:
So you think that if I copy a "file explorer" apk to the USB stick it can be installed?

When I insert a USB stick the only option (as far as I'm aware) that I can choose is the media input selection. That then gives me a choice of photo, video or all files.

I understood that my TV does not have a native or default method to install apk's, unless I can enable, "remote debug", then transfer the ES File Explorer via Network options?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] BaahBaah:
USB is not need. Download File Commander on both an Android tablet/phone and also on your TV (should be in normal Play Apps store). Sign up for the 5GB free Google drive, download the APKs from any of the APK repos on your tablet and save to drive, use File Commander on TV to install. You'll need to allow unknown sources on TV, and not every APk works, but hopefully this gets you started...
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] gtd2000:
There's no File Commander on this TV or Play Store, only the TCL app store.

After reading further into this particular TV, it seems to be running the Linux based Smart TV 3.0?

This is the TV:

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Oneplus 5T guy:
I was trying to install Edxposed following a step-by-step video guide to be able to use Mock Mock location. I had various unsuccessful tries with YAHFA, so while it was still downloaded and installed (checked safetynet and it was fine), I tried installing SandHook to see if it worked, but then i noticed SafetyNet had been tripped. I proceeded to uninstall every module i had in hope to fix the issue to no avail. Unfortunately i do not have any screenshots from the installation errors or before the safetynet triggered. I have the latest Magisk and twrp installed. I don't have any way of making a full system backup, so preferentially a solution that doesn't format my data, but if it's unavoidable i can do it.

Device: Oneplus 5T

Os: 9.0.10

If phone's boot-loader is unlocked:

By means of ADB pull phone's /data partition to PC, boot phone in boot-loader mode, then by means of FASTBOOT re-flash Stock ROM and finally by means of ADB push saved /data partition back to phone.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Oneplus 5T guy:
sorry, im kind of dumb to all of this, i usually just install Magisk with no problems and thats the end, but how could i see the /data partition on my pc? i can only see it in a rooted file explorer on the device.. And whatdo you mean with "ADB pull" ?

Should i have an image for it or do i download it? (i can search for it if necessary)
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Oneplus 5T guy:
After some extensive searching for what to do, I have downloaded a clean installation of the OS, but I currently am having issues with reinstalling Magisk in the new updated TWRP 3.4. It is important to note that apparently SafetyNet is partially reverted to its original state, only leaving "ctsProfile: false" and "basicIntegrity: true", which hopefully means with the MagiskHide feature, should become all true. If anyone has any insight or possibly a fix for it, it would be much appreciated.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] darrenliew96:
you can actually erase google play store data and reboot, it helps.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Oneplus 5T guy:
i had tried that and it did not work, to fix the problem i ended up having to delete all my data, since every time i restored it, the safety net tripped again. I simply deleted everything including the OS then made a clean install of everything, including TWRP Magisk and the OS. Reinstalling TWRP probably wasnt really necessary, but since i did it all in one go, i can't say for sure. The phone is working fine now, but the safetynet is partially triggered (ctsProfile: False), which did not block me from using any apps whatsoever. Reinstalling Magisk and using HideMagisk fixed it and it is back to True.

[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] deucalion0:
Hi all, does anyone use this phone to cast to Chromecast? I cannot get this to successfully Cast to any of my four devices which are Android TV, Samsung TV and two Chromecasts. I've tried using VLC player and Plex to cast and the same thing happens with both, the TV screen goes blank you can see it's trying to do something, and after a few minutes of this it just disconnects and fails. Occasionally it will play about a minute of something and then just disconnect and fail, this is very frustrating. The weird thing is that casting YouTube works fine.

Can anyone with this phone confirm casting works or not for you? Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Thanks!

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Auxno511:
Hi Pixel users,

I have a question.

Is it possible to make an offline setup on Google Pixel 4 XL with Android 10 or Android 11?

On my Google Pixel 3 and Android 9 I can complete the Android setup offline.

Here are the steps how to make an Android setup offline on a Google Pixel 3.

1. Turn on Google Pixel 3

2. Hi there screen (select language)

3. Connect to mobile network (tap the "Skip" button)

4. Connect to Wi-Fi (tap the "Skip" button)

5. Skip Wi-Fi? (tap the "Continue" button)

6. Date & time

7. Google Services

8. Unlock with Pixel Imprint (tap the "Skip" button)

9. Set screen lock (tap the "Skip" button)

10. Skip screen lock? (tap the "Skip anyway" button)

11. Android Home Screen
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] :
It's possible, yes.

It's the same thing actually.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Auxno511:
Thanks.

I have also compared it to my other Android device it has LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10).

1. Turn on Android device

2. Lineage screen

3. Language

4. Date & time

5. Location services

6. LineageOS features

Hi,

I am thinking about sideloading a number of XAPs onto my Lumia 1020 (running Win 8.1) now that the store has been closed and I can no longer get them from my account.

I have scanned the files using Virustotal, and none of the engines found any viruses or malware. What I wonder about, however, is if these engines know what to look for in a XAP file. I realise it's essentially an archive that contains an executable, dlls and media, but also assume that Windows phone malware is not identical to the desktop OS equivalent.

Does anyone know?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

I have a question regarding the screen resolution on our Pixel 3 XL. I want to know if we can reduce the resolution from 2960x1440 to something smaller like 1480x720 (720p) or something else close to 1080p?

I am asking this because I want to see if it will provide a boost to battery life, and frankly, most of the times we don't need the higher resolution. If this switch could be scripted/made one click, it will be pretty easy to just switch to higher resolution when needed. Of course this is just a hypothetical situation if such a setting can be found.

I have looked around and found DPI to be the closest setting. However, reducing the DPI doesn't seem to change the rendered or displayed resolution. If any of you have some insight on how to change the resolution, please share.

Thanks,

AJ
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] chefkcoh6666:
Hi,

i got a Huawei P20Pro CLT-L29 with broken screen over ebay.

I bought a new LCD and fixed it, then it turned on and nearly everything worked except it had a FRP lock on it.

I thougt i am smart (HUAWEI NOOB:)) and i could unlock it, so i read some how-to guides and went to safe mode to factory reset.

After that the Phone never booted again.

Endless bootloop.

I can go to fastboot mode but i can´t flash anything because the bootloader is locked and also FRP is on.

If i turn it on it vibrates and Windows recognizes something but then it restarts.

Is there anyone who can help me, please.

I got a lot of sleepless nights trying to fix this but i always get the same result.

I even tried DC Unlocker, unlocked bootloader via testpoint, but the problem there is it wont boot to upgrade mode, keeps failing there everytime..

i have my rooted galaxy tab s6 (SM-T865) running Android 10 , i want to downgrade the Android version to 7.0 Nougat

is it possible and how ?

Note: i think i can install TWRP on my tab , my concern is the custom roms may break my tab
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You can't downgrade using a stock nougat firmware due to the fact that you can't flash a firmware that has an older binary than the binary version of the currently installed firmware, for this reason, you will not be able to flash a stock nougat firmware.

But, if your bootloader is unlocked and there is a TWRP recovery for your specific model number and there if there are Nougat custom ROMs for your device, you can flash TWRP and then flash a Nougat ROM for your device. If there is not a TWRP or no custom ROMs for your specific model number, you will not be able to go back to nougat.

I'm nominating you for funniest avatar awards! At least we'll all be able to take you seriously.

But in regards to your comment, yeah as long as the voltage is the same you're generally pretty safe. The ampage rating don't tend to mean that much as the device will only draw what it needs (in the case that your charger is rated at 1000mAH but your device draws less than that). In the case your charger can't provide enough ampage then I believe the charging process simply takes longer that it would with the 'correct' charger.

If the voltage is different then you can cause serious damage to your device and who knows you could theoretically start a fire.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] evolut1010:
Is it possible to get satellite info on the galaxy active watch? I am specifically looking for number of satellites active and in view while in standalone mode(not using a phone’s gps).

When I try using gps_status_set_satellite_updated_cb with my location_manager set to LOCATIONS_METHOD_GPS I get an error in the Tizen Studio log “LOCATION_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED”. I then checked system_info_get_platform_bool using “location.gps.satellite” (i cannot post the full url but i have it set in my code) and it returned false. This makes it seem like I am unable to get any satellite data on my watch.

However, whenever I register a location callback (such as location_manager_set_position_updated_cb) the Tizen Studio log spits out “LBS_SERVER_GPS dump_log.c: gps_dump_log(302) -> Add dump log [timestamp [1593678046], sat num [8] view num [8] used [7]]” and it periodically logs updates “sat num [20] view num [20] used [12]]” .

Hi guys, quick question.

basically i had my diamond for just under 2 months yet seemed to have developed a fault with the touch screen in that it seems to randomly jump to other areas of the screen when im writing a text for example.

I have the Expansys grey import and looks like it needs to go back for repair.

So what im wanting to know is what do i need to do to return the handset back into its original state in order?

i know i need to put original SPL back on (but what version would it have come with) and the radio is the 05 version (does that matter) and at what point do I flash the original ROM back?

Thanks!
