There is pretty much nothing you can do except relay the bad practice to the channel you met this person who sold you the phone. I.E. Swappa, eBay, etc. A locked phone is a locked phone. No way around it.

Thanks! Good to know. It's a shame. Since the phone is in a very good shape it hurts to send it to the recycling.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] OregonAird:
Hi guys,

im an orange customer and I'm for a an upgrade next Thursday. I was hoping to get a Touch Pro, but they dont seem to be bringing that out just yet on Orange so my alternative is the diamond.

I have heard lots of horror stories on it being very laggy and un-responsive due the the lower hardware specs. this with the un-ability to use any MMC Cards was one of the reasons i was routing for the pro.

They have now released a new rom and this has improved things a lot i hear but of-course there is not upgrade for the orange rom other than using a cooked one i assume as the HTC official will not work.

my question... If I go for the Diamond, am I downgrading to much... should I just be patient and wait ? would you say its a worthwhile phone ?

Thanks for you replies in advance, and this is an opinion thread, no flaming someone for their opinion necessary. my spelling well thats another matter ....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Lord_BlackAdder:
While the TouchPro is definitely more powerful than Diamond, I have bought Diamond recently and don't have any performance or usability issues so far. I am using the ROM that came from Telstra and am quite happy with it but I suppose over time, I would still go to try out some cooked ROMs as I have been addicted to flashing with my Hermes for the last 2 years.:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] aydc:
To be short: If you don't need a qwerty keyboard and if you don't need more than 4GB storage, buy the Diamond. Nothing else comes close.

All the negative things you've heard about like slowness and such can be solved by installing a custom ROM like SwiftBL 6.0. My Diamond is not only fast, it almost flies.

The screen is the best on the market, the interface is great, GPS is excellent etc. etc. etc.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] htc-p3600:
The Diamond is the PDA better than I ever try to date ...

I abandoned my P3600 move to this concentration of technology and style and I have not yet repented ...

The battery does not last much, but on the site HTC sell at a price not excessive plus the battery.

I had heard about the slowness in response and fluidity of TF3D, but even without resorting to custom ROM, just act with a registry editor on the registry, change some value and that's it ... now is my finger that is not behind the TF3D.

If I may advise, order! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Delusionz:
I'm sorry to ruin, but the device is slow.

Before the diamond I had an i-mate jam running windows mobile 2003SE, which should be slower than the diamond, it has

an 400MHz Xscale cpu but the OS / phone way more responsive.

In the diamond it takes me few clicks to answer a phone call, also few seconds to disconnect one also the random freezes.. oh the freezes.. jezz

this driving me crazy when I hit the START button and it takes ~2 seconds to understand..

(And yes, I use dutty's cooked rom V1.7 1.93 which is considered the fastest)

There are good things of course, like the screen which is perfect, the built in GPS which works flawlessly and the TF3D interface

which I hope some time will work faster..

Meanwhile, I still hope I would be able to install Android when it comes out.

Btw, the screen might be perfect but I've also had an iphone, and its a different touch

experience, the multi touch points on the screen and no pen needed to work around are great.

One more annoying thing is the mini-usb.. very pointless, why not to use the regular standard usb port :\

Overall, I'm not too happy mainly due to the performance issues. :(

WM6.1 is too heavy for this phone, imo.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Htc86:
I had the same issues, but with 1.37 ROM. I was quite disappointed until I upgraded to 1.93 ROM. Those just can't compare, everything is silky smooth and runs really really fast. Now I'm soo glad i bought the phone, it works flawlessly-TF3D and WM6.1...of course thanks to this brilliant forum! ;)

Bottom line: With minor tweaks and some patience you will be more than satisfied with the device. I was sold to the design, now I am to the WM too...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Delusionz:
Even if I remove the TF3D interface its still less responsive than needed so I dont know what are you talking

about and I'm also running 1.93 dutty's ROM v1.7.

The whole thing feels like VISTA vs XP in performance terms..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dge669110:
It depend if you are luky or not, my father has a diamond too and had problems with 1.37 and now with the 1.93 he has a lot more problems. For me that was realy good with the Rom 1.37 and now impossible to use GPS updates with the 1.93; two phones and two diffrent experience. Impossible to use Skype in phone to phone over IP but great with PC to phone. Now there is a lot of tweaks realy usefull and this phone is great with a long battery life (if you use what you need when you need). I hope that will help you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Htc86:
@Delusionz

I really feel sorry to hear that, mate. I am now on the official WWE 1.93 and it's just another world compared to the previous. Everything seems the way i like, which is also great thing with WM, cause lots of things are customizable(+all those performance tweaks which are great). For instance, if i click Start button, it opens down immediately...no lags whatsoever. On 1.37 it was only question of time...Did you try any other ROMs too?

@dge

I had this quick gps problem too...but on 1.37...now it's all fine...i guess we mean the same thing...but long battery life is not its plus...with some tweaking 2 days...maybe 2 and 1/2 days...of course with medium to low usage...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] aydc:
Some of the alleged "slowness" is inherent to all Windows Mobile devices. 4 years ago, WM phones took 2 seconds to open startmenu-programs. Now, after all this improvement, they still take 2 seconds to open startmenu-programs. This is not Diamond's fault, but rather Microsoft's.

Where Diamond shines is in comparison to other WM phones on the market, not iPhone. If you want extreme speed, buy iPhone. If you want business features with extreme speed and don't need touchscreen, buy BlackBerry Bold. If you want Windows Mobile, but the Diamond. Simple as that...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] OregonAird:
thanks everyone for there opinions and advice if. Its one of the reasons i like this forum as "most" people are friendly and happy to give advice.

Im not an Iphone man, this will be my 4th HTC and 5th WM device so i understand all to well the slowness of WM and if the mutterings i heard were just concerning that and not the device hardware then i think im sold.

I think i will miss-out the SD Card Slot and TV-Out of the Pro but hey its free! I cant argue to much.

Thanks Again,

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Well yes, going through a 3rd party service is the only way to get the bootloader unlocked. But that has nothing to do with a SIM unlock, which also needs to be done if it hasn't been already. For either bootloader or SIM unlock, i can provide a recommendation for a reputable professional business if needed.

sim unlocking isnt allowed on xda.. typically its a grey area even more so than bl unlocking since usually its not possible to determine if said device was obtained legally and is paid off/owned by the user (not implying anything towards you of course) since normally to sim unlock a device is done through carrier once device is fully paid off and requirements are met.

That being said, if you want to bl unlock then you can check out my unlock thread and website but of course its not a sim unlock lol

USERDATA for Android 11 has been added - build TL2.

Someone else already beat me to uploading the full TL2 firmware package on AFH, so you can download that if you need the rest of the Odin files.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I guess you can try it. But why would you not have downloaded the full TL2 package from AFH instead, rather than a totally different version from SamMobile? AFH has much faster download speeds than SamMobile anyway

No, it's not in my folder. In the post where I stated that the Android 11 USERDATA had been added, I specifically said that the reason I didn't add the entire firmware was because someone else had already uploaded the entire TL2 firmware package to AFH.

Bootloader 2 updates are starting to roll out. U model can pull it via CHA and CCT using the various firmware download tools, and U1 is also now available. I have the AT&T USERDATA but uploading to AFH has been borked since last night, so I'm waiting on them to fix that

I've uploaded AT&T bootloader 2 firmware, both USERDATA and the rest of the files - build UBB. Remember that this is a new bootloader, so you can't go back if you don't like it, or if there are bugs
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] linkboy:
My Note 20 was bought from T-Mobile at launch and it got bricked during a firmware update last year. I ended up flashing it to the U1 unlocked firmware, and now I'm trying to get it back to T-Mobile's firmware in order to get it unlocked as I've paid it off.

However, it's been updated to the latest firmware and has the version 2 bootloader and I can't find the current firmware for download.

Sammobile doesn't have it available (and a mod in the forums is taking me it's not possible) and it's not on samfw either.

Does anyone know where I can get it for download?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
T-Mobile hasn't released the bootloader 2 update yet. So you're stuck until they do.

You could try converting it to a different carrier's firmware and then insert a T-Mobile SIM, to see if it will convert itself to T-Mo's bloatware. But idk if that will work on a device that hasn't been SIM unlocked yet
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] linkboy:
I figured something like that was going on. I'm in no hurry to get it unlocked, as I'm not planning on leaving T-Mobile. It's really just one of those things I like to do after I get my phone paid off.

I'm good with leaving it how it is until T-Mobile releases the files.

Thank you for the information.

Default viper4android Magisk module doesn't work for me with SELinux enforcing. "Brute force" fix is to set SELinux to permissive, but I don't like this approach. Viper4android module should patch selinux policies during installation, but it fails for some reason. Fix is quite simple:

1. Locate and edit file

/data/adb/modules/ViPER4AndroidFX/post-fs-data.sh

2. Add this text to the end of the file

magiskpolicy --live 'allow audioserver audioserver_tmpfs file { read write execute }'
magiskpolicy --live 'allow audioserver system_file file { execmod }'
magiskpolicy --live 'allow mediaserver mediaserver_tmpfs file { read write execute }'
magiskpolicy --live 'allow mediaserver system_file file { execmod }'
magiskpolicy --live 'allow audioserver unlabeled file { read write execute open getattr }'
magiskpolicy --live 'allow hal_audio_default hal_audio_default process { execmem }'
magiskpolicy --live 'allow hal_audio_default hal_audio_default_tmpfs file { execute }'
magiskpolicy --live 'allow hal_audio_default audio_data_file dir { search }'
magiskpolicy --live 'allow app app_data_file file { execute_no_trans }'
magiskpolicy --live 'allow mtk_hal_audio mtk_hal_audio_tmpfs file { execute }'

3. save, reboot phone

4. go to viper4android app and toggle legacy mode off and on, it should work now with legacy mode enabled

Edit:

One user needed few extra lines to make it working on his Redmi Note 9:

magiskpolicy --live 'allow mtk_hal_audio sysfs_dt_firmware_android file { read }'
magiskpolicy --live 'allow mtk_hal_audio mtk_hal_audio process { execmem }'
magiskpolicy --live 'allow vendor_default_prop vendor_default_prop file { read }'
magiskpolicy --live 'allow mtk_hal_audio metadata_file dir { search }'
magiskpolicy --live 'allow mtk_hal_audio debugfs_ion dir { search }'

Thanks very much! - I think this was my last little nit on V11.0 / OP7T Global and adding these magiskpolicy lines to the end of the file and a reboot worked fine. I used root-explorer / Edit and had to just clean up from the cut&Paste I did so it matched exactly the above.

FWIW: I'm using ViperFX as installed via Magisk repo 2.5.0.4 Legacy mode. I'd forgotten how much I liked Viper ;). - Oh - Meant to mention I was using Magisk 22.0 since it came out. No problems.

What's difference with legacy mode on to off?( Not talking about this method to work...talking in general)
[Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
Legacy mode connects to the default audio session, which works system wide. Non-legacy mode connects to dedicated audio sessions created by each app, but some don't use/announce their audio session ID and Viper might not work in such apps (e.g. Youtube or Netflix). In theory, non-legacy mode should offer higher quality, but I wasn't able to tell the difference. Legacy mode offers better compatibility.

Btw. those who want "plug&play" experience and/or higher sound processing quality should give James DSP a try.

Which Viper version are you trying? With the latest one it worked on the first try for me (install Viper, install driver, reboot, modify module file as described in OP, reboot).

Not true, at least the latest Viper version works with enforcing SElinux - as long as sepolicy rules are applied properly.
