[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] stpete111:
I see you got yourself a $200 Diamond. Very nice! Regardless of whether it works on 3G data in the US, you can't beat that price for ANY Diamond!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] RavenGirl:
This is true. Now who won the device? If you can confirm that the device is in fact a diam100 and it does actually works on at&t 3g, the rom and radio will need to be dumped so others on at&t can try. I'm on T-Mobile, so I don't think I will be able to help. :)

Good luck.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] palmbluetooth:
I won this auction but the auction was cancelled, the seller told me that he tried flashing a different rom and he lost the 3G so he cancelled the auction.

IF this is true, it looks like the 3G was a software issue not hardware, but I highly doubt it because he had the 05 radio, unless the rom that he had made a difference.

It's a very weird case because it seems that the 3G issue is hardware related, I'm confused.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Black93300ZX:
This has been covered many times, the president of HTC said they removed the MicroSD as well as the US UMTS radio to make the Diamond smaller. That's why it's only 900/2100. Can't be the same hardware as you have, unless it's BS.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] stpete111:
Oh, that's a bummer... even though I'm sure it did NOT have 3G, it sure would have been quite a bargain to get any kind of Diamond for 200 bucks!

The red flag for me on this auction was a couple of his answers to the Q&A's in the auction, particularly one where he said the phone supports ALL bands for GSM and WCDMA. We all know that no Diamond has all the hardware to support all bands. He was basing this claim on the bands that showed as available in the Band tab under settings. But if you read through the Diamond Radios thread in the Diamond ROM Development subforum, you'll see that several ATT US folks have the same thing on theirs, but that meant nothing regarding what bands they could actually connect to... that's hardware-dependent.

I think the seller guy was misinformed by the person he bought it from (also on Ebay), and he just didn't know the depth of info on this phone like us xda-developers-obsessed folks do. I don't think he was intentionally trying to mislead anyone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CrackaBoi:
Yes, thats the bottom line. The fact that he canceled the auction proves that.

One question: When the US Diamond comes out, will it work as well as the EU/Asia Diamond in Europe?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] stpete111:
What do you mean, "work as well as"?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CrackaBoi:
Yes exactly, will it work AS WELL AS the EU Diamond in Europe?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] daraj:
It shouldnt.. Because they need to remove the EU UMTS antenna and replace it by the US version.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] RavenGirl:
Thus ends the drama for this week. :( I'm sorry he cancelled the auction, he should have at least given you the phone for what you won it for.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CrackaBoi:
Oh well, I guess I'll sell my EU Diamond then.

Anybody know a firm release date on the US Diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] stpete111:
I can't tell you firm by any means, but it's definitely looking to be in the first week of September.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CrackaBoi:
Hey guys, are there any US Operators (Sprint, Verizon, Tmobile, etc) that use another 3G band than AT&T? What I am asking is, are there any US carriers that can give me 3G on my EU Diamond in the US?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] stpete111:
Assuming your Diamond is a GSM Diamond, the only other carrier that it could work with at all would be T-Mobile (Sprint and Verizon are CDMA). Unfortunately, no, you can't get 3G on T-Mobile either.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Zoltair Wright:
Even then, T-Mobile operates on its own 1700 mhz 3G band. Other 3G phones that work in the US will not work with T-Mobile 3G, as most triband 3G phones only come with radios that support the 2100, 1900, and either 900 or 850 bands. No fun at all. It looks like only T-Mobile US phones will support T-Mobile's USA 3G. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CrackaBoi:
Hmmm I see. Then why would anyone wanna get Tmobile.

Will the US version of the Diamond be available for sale to anyone without a plan though? If so I might just get that one, use it with my AT&T plan, and sell my EU Diamond (in Europe).

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] omarnone:
O.K. There is another seller on eBay that is selling the same phone i posted in the beginning,check it out>>>HERE I'll try and get some info from this dude on what kind of software,radio,etc. He is using on this phone?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Black93300ZX:
You realize with the new Schaps advancedconfig you can make your carrier show with 3G next to their name? So you could manually change it to say "AT&T 3G" right there...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Zoltair Wright:
T-Mobile USA is still cheaper than AT&T, so I guess if you never plan to leave the country, it makes sense. Still, some of us don't have that luxury.

I'm guessing that you could probably find the US version of the Diamond unlocked once it comes out here, either through ebay or expansys.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CrackaBoi:
Cool, thanks. Any idea whay a new unlocked US Diamond will run for without a plan? I will be staying in the US for a year, but maybe not longer than that. So signing up for a two year plan with Tmobile is not an option. Btw, how is 3G coverage on Tmobiles and Verizons networks?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] psperos:
you can preorder it here for 700. http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wir...ganic&utm_term=P3700BKUS&utm_campaign=froogle
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] RavenGirl:
Make sure you get the model number if you can. He could be selling the exclusive DIAM110. I've been thinking about this and the only way I can figure that these 3g european model diamonds are working on at&t 3g is that a radio has been ported from the AT&T touch pro. (since theoretically they're supposed to have the same radio hardware) I asked someone with a preproduction raphael to dump their radio for me so i could try to get it flashed on my diamond, but got the normal "The diamond does not have the correct hardware" line. I'm not really in the mood to argue about things, so I did not proceed further. Looks like it's been dumped anyway, so i'll scour the raphael forum and see if anyone's done it yet.

[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Questions & Answers] aarshmajmudar:
My Bootloader was unlocked at first with Beta Verizon of Android 10 installed, so sure it would be L3 with bootloader unlocked.

But, then I found a way on XDA to lock the bootloader back by downgrading to Android 9 Pie, from link: https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-5z/help/how-to-lock-bootloader-t4031603

So, this successfully relocked my bootloader and then I upgraded back to Android 10 stable version. Then after upgrading back to Android 10, I did hard reset once. But still when I download the DRM Info App, it still says WideVine L3, with bootloader locked and latest Android 10 Version of the ZenUI installed

Plus here I found one user (dip7g) stating that he did lock bootloader back and got L1 back, but never stated how. Link : https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-5z/help/relocking-bootloader-netflix-hd-t3982629

If any one can help me with getting L1 back, it would be great as I would be giving away this cell phone to my little brother, who likes to stream Prime and Netflix a lot.

I have also attached the Screenshots of the bootloader, DRM Info and About Phone.

Look, usually a phone has widevine and it's key stored in google's services, so when it's gone, i'ts gone.... forever

There are some manufactures who are a little bit softer ish on this, but i wouldn't have high hopes

Try to contact the user who had got this working and ask him, otherwise, honestly i lost L1 for my device years, and it's not that big of a deal
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] dzontra83:
My Tab S7 plus is behaving strangely in last few days. When my battery is over I think 25-30%, or when the tablet is connected to a charger, and when I press the power button (or double tap to wake) the screen blinks for a millisecond, it is also happening when you restart or power on the device, the screen blinks twice before the Samsung splash screen appears. But the strange thing is that it does not happen when the battery is below 25-30%, neither when powering or restarting the device or waking the device.

Is anyone else facing the similar problem? I tried to format the data, but the issue is still there. Thnx

Anyone else had anything like this:

When the phone first boots up its perfectly fine, calls work both ways, it plays music no problem.

However leave it sitting on the side for 15-20 mins and then get a call, the phone receives it but makes no noise, answer call an the phone doesnt even sound like its picked it up it's just silent, can' hear person, they can't hear you. Same on outbound calls the phone is just dead i cant hear anything an receiver cant hear me. But the phone does no the call is connected as it rumbles when the person answers but i never hear the ringing before that.

Also once it is in this state, got to music on the phone and click play and there is no sound at all!

This has happened even after updating to newer official rom as well.

Any ideas???

Many Thanks

I am having exactly the same problem.... All sound from the phone just stops working, also the alarm, which means I can never trust my phone to wake me up in the mornings!

Another problem with the phone is that when the phone is called it takes a while for the phone to ring. I have tried to call my phone from a landline and it actually rings three times before the diamond makes a noise!

Hi, i bought the phone with a very similar custom rom to the stock one but with pretty old patch (2019 i think, cant remember) and lately it was getting worse overall, so i decided to upgrade to a new custom, did choose Havoc, did root and installed but after that the phone didnt recognize my sim card, ive the IMEI and it says the name of the carrier but cant call or get data, after that i did decide to go back to stock rom via odin but still doenst work (i've installed the one with the apps of the carrier and another free of carrier's apps both for my country) and nothing, need help

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] themisterwilson:
Well, I already have WeChat installed so if they are gonna get me, they did long ago lol. Besides, if you root your phone this is a risk you're taking right off the bat. There's a reason Enterprises don't allow rooted devices to connect thru Microsoft/Exchange Activesync services.

Giving superuser access is a risk.

I suppose my feelings about paying are: if I want to root bad enough, I'm gonna want it $125 bad. In the scheme of things, is not a huge amount. Not if you can afford a $1300 smartphone, or even ~$800 with trade in.

And yes, it's also worth supporting development.

Edit: also agree, there is a lot going on in China. I've worked with colleagues in China and have friends there. Is a different culture there, there's so much more job competition than here. There's not room for half-assed efforts.
