Get a Life

I really don't understand all the whinging going on here about the battery life. Don't you guys do ANY homework before you buy something. This phone is 3G, has wireless, bluetooth, GPS, a VGA screen etc and it only has a 900MaH battery. Yes, that has been declared from day one, it is ONLY 900MaH. Good god, even my Polaris was 1350 MaH and its battery life was OK but not fantastic. OF course the battery life is going to be crap, but that is a part of the compromise you make and accept for the other things the phone offers.

For me, it was patently obvious that the battery life would be less than ideal, but the phone is small, it has great features, and I really like it so I bought an extra battery and carry it it with me charged in my work briefcase.

Get a life. This phone is NOT going to be recalled for shoddy battery, even an idiot who has owned a WM phone before could tell it was not going to last more than a day with heavy use. And if you didn't know, that I question your powers of research and deduction.

(I had a debate with a know-it-all techo about this subject before the phone was released. He was convinced that the combination of the 8-20% gain that Microsoft promised for WM6.1 and the latest battery technology would make this a fine device with good battery life. He also said that HTC would NEVER release a phone that would only last a few hours with heavy use. Well, he was wrong. Life is a compromise, and one of the compromises with the Diamond is less than stellar battery life)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] horstborsch:
First thing, I don´t expect very long charging times with this device. Because of the same power output the original boxed charging plug has!

Further, TomTom pedestrian mode or quality is a little off topic.

And I appreciate your comment flashgordonv. People don´t get it that every construction or development process is a deal of making compromises! This device has a lot of features, a lot of features need a lot of power, a small device can´t carry a lot of power. That´s it. If you need more power buy the pro or live with it and be happy that the device is that small!

So I think buying another battery will be fine, but I don´t know how to charge it without swapping these all the time, or buy an mobile charging device an the one I presented sounds promising for me!

Someone may have posted this already but UK owners can get this 2000mah external battery for £10 with loads of connectors so it can be used to charge their diamond, other phones, cameras etc.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PJ6363:
....this "overheating" and no charging issue is very real, see

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=419281

...the issues wrt the battery being 900mA and the discharge time was predicatble (as mentioned earlier)....before you buy do your homework!

Hell if extended battery life with lots of apps running movies/music etc then you know your gonna need a bigger-better battery (or discount some performance)

....but not being able to charge your device, in-car, on a warm day, whilst running GPS at the windscreen is to me a fault. Especially when say: your on holiday, in a warm climate, and you really need your GPS, and it could be hours before you find your next outlet....:mad:

...bit off thread, but what the heck :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Nuri58:
I was aiming at recharging not the TD but the recharger. Featuring a solid 4400 mAh you may find it'll take quite some time to charge it. Charging the TD will likely be the same as with a normal charger.

live in tenerife, and it aint dropped below 32 during the day since the diamond arrived. not seeing the overheating problem with gps and copilot 7.

Battery kit

Hi all

I've bought this battery kit:

http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4125&t_mode=des

I'm quite happy with it as it charges my Diamond fully at least 3 times and it takes under 3 hours (I would say the same amount of time as charging it from the AC). I use it mainly during my trekkings when I have the GPS always on.

Moreover the kit also has a cigarette lighter adapter and about 6 different adapters if you want to charge other devices which do not use mini USB.

The battery itself is not much bigger than the Diamond.

I'm really satisfied with this kit and I fully recommend it. I hope this can be helpful for you guys :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PaWs:
Well,I'm planning to buy the Proporta charger, but tell me if I'd have it hooked to TD while, let's say GPSing, would it be charging my device or slowing TD's discharge down? I.e. how much battery time do I approx. hava with fully charged Proporta on fully charge TD?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nunoce:
With GPS ON the auxiliar battery is capable of recharging the Diamond battery much faster than it discharges due to the usage.

I have tried with the GPS ON and display mostly OFF and the diamond battery + auxiliar battery lasted over than 24hours.

2 months latter I'm even more pleased with this solution.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro Questions & Answers] MeysamV:
Hi,

After updating to MIUI 12, Google apps (Google Play Store) cant connect to server. i got this error "Error retrieving information from server. DF-DFERH-01".

i cleared cache & Data for all of Google Apps.

i updated all of Google Apps.

i removed my account.

but there is no success.

when i disable "MIUI Optimization", The Error is Solved. but it makes some problems.

My Phone: Redmi 6 Pro - China Rom

Any Solution?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro Questions & Answers] MeysamV:
Finally found the solution on the Mi Forums.

Goto Settings -> Apps -> Permissions -> Autostart. Enable both options for 'Google Services Framework' i.e. 'Allow apps to start automatically' + 'Allow the app to be started by other apps.

Restart phone.

After that I could sign in.

Maybe the Autostart setting is necessary for contacts and calendar as well.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro Questions & Answers] Liky3:
Thank you! You saved me a lot of trouble, I was about to install new ROM on my phone just because of this problem.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro Questions & Answers] Donegalmatt:
I am replying to this in the event that someone else has had the same problems. I have a cc9 pro China rom. I downloaded the miui 12 update yesterday and Google stopped working. After several hours of trying all the fixes mentioned here and elsewhere this si what worked for me.

Delete everything Google.

Redownload the Google.apk from get apps.

Go through the cycle but parser error will come up.

Go to downloads and click install for first item.

Back to Google apk press button again for second item. Parser error will show.

Back to downloads and install.

Do this each time.

Once installed go to play store and make sure auto updates are turned off. After getting this working the play services updated with the newer version, which in turn stopped everything working again. And I had to go through the entire process again.

DO NOT UPDATE GOOGLE AY STORE OR SERVICES.

The only thing now not working for me is youtube which is not compatible with the old version of the play store.

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks for posting this - I was having major issues on my Mi 10 Lite Zoom until finding and trying this. Everything worked great - for about a week, and now none of my Google stuff works again?? Any thoughts on why? I guess I'll uninstall everything Google again and redo your suggestions above, but I certainly don't want to do this once a week?? Thoughts?

I am using redmi note 7 pro...facing same issue after updating. I did try uninstall google play and install again...but still can't sign in

You just have to try to make "Google Services Framework" and "Google Play services" to Autostart, as i told above.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] sharpz811:
Hey I just wanted to know if this is supposed to be normal behavior. I stay connected to my pixel buds 2 all 9 hours on my work days and I don't listen to anything except to and from work which is about 50 minutes then the other 8 hours and 10 minutes I'm actually working but I don't listen to nothing I just keep one bud in my ear to reply to texts and check NBA scores and some random Google searches here and there. So I would start the day of course with full battery then by the end of my 8 hours shift I'm down to between 20-30%. Now I just wanted to know if that's normal?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] matemade:
Well that's a way too much battery drain. Have you checked at the battery settings what's causing it?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] sharpz811:
Yes I've done clean Flash of latest stock firmware and I've been using latest kiri kernel. I've been obsessing with better battery stats and I've only seen one culprit which was Google Play services but a clean Flash fixed that. It's like standby time on this phone for me is non existent. However I will run complete stock without root and will investigate further.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] gowmatin:
hi

I was trying to install TWRP on my LG H860 but since LG doesn't provide official unlock.bin for H860 Middle east region, i was thinking what if i could install a LG H850-UK ROM on my LG H860 and then try the official way in LG developer site to get my unlock.bin for unlocking the bootloader.

here are my main questions:

1- Does this action will hard brick my phone or mess up with my hardware?

2- Does it discard my IMEI?(since i'm using a ROM from another region)

3- If this method was successful, can i install a custom OS like Lineage OS?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] KurayamiArai:
Hi.

Please, can anyone tell me a way that really works for enable root access from magisk to my chinese device unlocked with global rom MIUI 12 / Android 10?

Every tutorial I follow, I got bootlooping.

I tried Boot Image Patching tutorial from magisk, which consists in installing magisk manager apk, patching the stock boot.img and fastboot flash the new boot.img.

Result: bootlooping, and I had to flash stock boot.img again to solve.

Flashing UNOFFICIAL TWRP by wzsx150 for Android 10, mounting system, deleting recovery-from-boot.p, closing avb 2.0, installing root and reboot. Result: bootlooping. To solve this I had to flash stock boot and recovery.

Tried to not delete recovery-from-boot, tried to install TWRP + directly magisk from oficial zip. Results: bootlooping

I even tried to flash from miflash tool original firmware "begonia_global_images_V12.0.2.0.QGGMIXM_20200710.0000.00_10.0_global_5c06839838", changing the boot.img for the patched from magisk. Bootlooping.

Anyone, please?!

Is your device chinese and your rom global with MIUI 12, same as mine?

About the safetynet, dunno what is your problem, but since earlier this year, every phone with bootlooader unlocked, CTS profile fails, but basic integrity pass.

Is it that way for you?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SephYuyX:
Not really looking for specifics, but I am just generally curious how this is performed?

I have a Samsung A01 that's locked to StraightTalk/TracFone, that i'd like to get on to Verzion. They don't allow the device to be unlocked until after 12 months.

Regardless of my specific device, some websites mention they just send a code (my device doesn't prompt for a pin unlock), where others require access to your PC and do something to the tethered device.

How do these other services get the unlock codes, or perform unlocks on other similar situations? Do these sites have access to someone working at the carriers to supply the codes? Some sort of keygen? These seem to be the most legit, and last through wipes. Some sites say they do stuff to devices remotely, and the unlock doesn't last through a format - are these rooting or installing some sort of custom rom, or just adb'ing and editing some file?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ValdikSS:
Three categories:

1. Unlock codes supplied by carrier staff

2. Unlock codes generated algorithmically from IMEI/SN, reverse-engineered into keygen

3. Software vulnerabilities / hacks

The software is not bug-free: some devices have bootloader or kernel level vulnerabilities or logic check errors which could be used for unlocking. Sometimes the vulnerabilities could be used to make proper permanent unlock, another time they work only on exact software version and deactivate upon updating.

I remember the case when the vulnerability was used to unlock the phone on a single exact firmware version, that phones were sold on ebay/aliexpress pre-unlocked with that FW, with disabled updates, without notifying the potential buyer that the device is not fully functional.

Nowadays rare, but a decade ago it was fairly common for the manufacturers to implement unlock code generation based on IMEI or serial number. Since it's an algorithm, software researcher can find it in the firmware files, reverse-engineer and reimplement it in a form of keygen.

Many unlocking websites are run by people with superficial technical knowledge, driven by money. They find carrier staff who can provide them unlock codes or buy access to some kind of panel with the codes, then resell them on their website. If they have connections with software researchers, they may pay for making unlocking tool out of vulnerability concept (they call it a 'solution'). Sometimes they just take a free unlocking solutions off the internet, repack and make it look like theirs (happened to me multiple times).

As the website guys are not smart and the model range is huge, it's typical for unlocking page to contain generic instructions which could not be applied to all carrier-modified devices.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] aydc:
There are a lot of people asking how you can get the animations in TF3D back after flashing 1.93 ROM.

I'll ask the opposite. I don't think they removed enough animations. When I select Programs for example, I still wait 1-1,5 seconds while the icons slowly fade in.

I want to remove every single animation that takes time. Is there such a tweak?

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NerdFire:
Kindle Fire 10 (2019 version) running 7.3.1.0 I believe; it's never been updated out of the box and system updates are turned off so it can't tell me from the Settings app. But anyway.

I bought a dopey little $20 Bluetooth keyboard for another project. It works just fine on a Raspberry Pi I tested it on and on my pretty vanilla phone (BLU Vivo XL4 running relatively recent Android).

I decided it might be nice to use it with the Fire tablet so I opened Bluetooth on the tablet, set both the tablet and the keyboard to pair, and the keyboard appeared in the list of connected devices. Trouble is, the tablet isn't responding to key presses. I can open any app that accepts input and try to type with the keyboard but nothing goes through to the app.

is there anything I need to do to tell the tablet, "Hey tablet, see this thing over here you say you're connected to? It's a keyboard. Listen to it and repeat what it says." I've checked input and keyboard settings but I didn't see anything relevant.

Thanks!

Are they offering the 2019 model or 2020 model with the braided cord?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Grimcreaper:
Must be based on good reps. The one i got, when i asked about the headphones, quoted the SamMobile article about them not including the headphones. So i quoted the part that said they would provide a pair if you talked to support and he said "No, its not true. We are not giving out any free earbuds for Note 20 or Note 20 Ultra purchases."
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] marctronixx:
well technically he or she was correct, ;)

samsung are NOT giving out the buds - they are giving you a 30 dollar voucher that you can use to purchase a set in the samsung accessory store. :p

for me, i choose to use that code to fund the fold z 2 purchase (or an S7). i went direct to the chat box on the site and within minutes got the code sent to email.
