[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Davey101:
I've nothing useful to add to this thread except to express my amazement that anyone would pay so much money for this device!

Mine was free on a contract that will end up costing me about the same amount over 18 months but that includes 400 talk minutes and unlimited texts. Also, I went into it with my eyes open - I knew it was not going to be as friendly or reliable as a Nokia.

If you're going to travel long distances to buy an expensive product, do some research first! :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Token42:
Of course this is a developer-forum, not intended for exchanging critics on a device, without wanting or excepting to solve the criticized problems. But sometimes it goes off-topic, someone complains and a so called flamewar is created. But even a flamewar is nothing else but a discussion in a discussion-forum. I see no problem in this behavour of forums.

I think responsible people on the manufacturer-side are aware of common problems, discussed in forums like this. Because they are owning such a device by their selfs, or they are interested in, because it's their job. So perhaps critizising really anoying issues can't be done to an extend, high enough.

It's true - devices like PDA's can't be perfect, they are too complicated. But even a mixer is too complicated to be perfect.

When I buy a mixer and it's somewhat too loud or a little weak, I can say: "Hey its not what I'm expected, but it's OK for the money." But when I have to switch the mixer on 3 minutes before I want to use it, cause it has a power-on lag, or if it allways looses the mixing attachment I say its bull****.

When I buy a top-class PDA promoted for GPS, PIM and MP3 and I can do nothing of it without big problems, I think also it's bull****.

OK - one could say "Its not a problem for all, it's only 50% with GPS-lag" - hey that makes me much more enthusastic to try other htc-products.

As someone allready suggested, I can simply buy another pda - yes I can can and will, but thats a reason not to complain about a product I've bought?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] liamhere:
1st rule before you buy something

do your homework

you only have yourself to blame if you find out its not for you after you have spent all that money....DOH!

P.S.......if you just want a just a "phone"....go buy a nokia.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Token42:
Of course my mistake, not HTC's. Seems you're really clever. I think I proceed to blame myself and you can proceed to blame others.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] liamhere:
just for the record,

my comment was for the thread starter and not aimed at you.

note to self....must use quote more :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] christis:
+.

Couldn't put it in a better way!

Coming back to the actual Diamond "problems" mentioned:

Even with the first couple of original HTC roms, I never experienced any GPS lag, mp3 lag etc etc. Only the start-up lag is rather annoying, but hey... how fast does your Windows Vista PC boot up?

Please try to compare Diamond's GPS next to an N95, and post the results on accuracy and lag (I have done so!).

Finally, I would agree with "liamhere"'s statement of "P.S.......if you just want a just a "phone"....go buy a nokia.", but I would like to add:

Make sure it's NOT an N series... and don't buy it (actually never buy ANYTHING expensive)from somewhere so far away, unless is online, so FedEx, DHL or whoever, can come to the rescue
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Token42:
Sorry, got this wrong.

If most people are happy with their diamond and doesn't encounter any of the known problems its fine and nice. Personaly I really start to get a little bit angry about myself, to have spent so much money for it.

I've bought this device not for the phone-functionality but as a pda and this was a bad bad decission. Not only because of flaws I was not aware of when I've bought it but because of limitations I knew of. I was only to impatient to wait for other models and do enough research.

I don't think HTC will spent many resources on bugfixing for example the gps-lag, cause their are so many phones of them in development and they have allready made their deal with the diamond.

So I return to my beloved Loox and use the diamond really only as a phone, better than nothing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] putradbm:
suggestion

Rather than complain..how about, try some ROM in this forum..and try more *.cab in this forum..i think you'll like it...its amazing what these experts can do to your diamond...

I love my diamond much more every day...After I bought my diamond and start to read this forum..I can stop reading it..every day, I always open this site just waiting, what kind of program, they come up with... JUST AMAZING..!

come on man..if you stumble in trouble, just let people help you..and this forum is the place..!

cheers..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Token42:
I also think that this developer-site is a really great place and one can be happy, if his device is supported by this forum.

I've allready tried TOR's ROM, cause someone posted, after flashing it his gps-lag was gone. Sadly not the case for me. For me, the gps-lag is absolutely the biggest problem.

I have great respect for the aproaches to solve the lag, for example the tool gps-delay, someone wrote to determine the root of the problem and I still hope that there will be a solution in the future, but this hope begins a little bit to fade.

I'am not experienced on this, but as far as I see coocked ROM's are nothing else than different compilations of app's with somewhat tweaked ini's and bitmaps. They can improve free memory by excluding apps but they can't solve coding-bugs in the firmware. So it's some kind of ROM-development but not in the common sense I think. If someone wan't to really fix firmware-bugs he has to have the source of it and the neccessary development-tools.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] simcarloc:
I can understand the frustrations of those who have just received their Diamonds. They do not function well straight out of the box and need quite a bit of care and attention; this is sometimes not clear when you research the phone. Furthermore, when you come to sites like this, regulars can be heavy handed and a bit 'fanboy' should you ask noob questions and fail to search - not that the search function works well on this forum anyway.

However, if you ignore the more 'excitable' members and be patient enough to learn the basics (such as flashing ROMS) people are generally more than willing to help on here. I am amazed and very thankful at how skilled and dedicated some of you are - you have made my Diamond a joy to use now!

In addition, let's not fool ourselves here - a properly functioning iphone works well straight out of the box, a Diamond does not, it needs work. So telling people all phones are the same is a little simplistic and condascending - as is telling people to 'go buy an iphone', as if to do so is degrading, get real!

So to sum, it's about balance:

1. Newbies - don't complain endlessly for the sake of it,it's tiresome and clogs up the board. Try to learn how to change what bothers you or keep quiet. The choice of whether you should keep your phone is entirely yours.

2. Regulars - the Diamond is a product not a living relative. Some people have been very unlucky with Diamonds, so take it easy and think before you jump down their throats. The Diamond can be overwhelming sometimes and because this place is so well regarded, people may want to let off a little steam here,hoping HTC take note. Have some sympathy...

Once again, great forum fellas, may it continue and grow!

dude, get the iphone, this phone is not for the faint harted. jsut thik al all those things the iphone can do!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sjaak1234:
I dont get the complaining. I could understand the complains with the 1.35 and to a lesser extend the 1.37 rom but with the 1.93 rom, even without tweaking anything, the TD works properly and does everything it is supposed to do and at, what I think, is a very accaptable speed. I only did one or two performance tweaks on mine (mostly because I feel most tweaks actually make things slower for me) and the rest is mostly cosmetic like removing and re-organizing tabs like I want them, some softkey changes and iContact and S2U2 are basically all I did to get mine like I wanted it.

So even if you just want something that works out of the box a TD should work just fine.

I'm pretty happy with it now. It still needs a reboot from time to time if WM screws up and its a ***** that the touchflow3d skin is really only there for the most basic stuff so alot of times you are still forced to work with the very small windows menu's (like when adding a contact or doing agenda stuff, I think that is something that HTC should work on. I understand they cant or wont want to do everything but as this is sold as a PDA they should atleast take care of the most used things like adding contacts and working in ur agenda).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] catdog:
Hehe, Quakke posted one complaint and look at it now- this thread has 3 pages.

It is like throwing a match into a stack of hay. And off the fire burns!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Quakky:
I understand alot of people seem to be attached to their HTC diamond. the phrase "love makes you blind" comes to mind but whatever.

Anyways, I understand that this device should do alot, but if you did some reading (to the people who flamed me), you would understand that my device's LCD screen went black/blank..device is on..LCD is not..touching works, LCD doesnt. Why? cuz I inserted the simcard wrong? Oh lord punish me god almighty for inserting the simcard WHILE THE PHONE IS ON! :D

I went and got the problem checked out, and I had a faulty phone (apparently first on this forum, because no one experianced it before)...BTW

Was I complaining about anything like GPS, Sound, MP3, Scrolling? No. I was trying to get someone to help me for a week on my problem which was posted on another topic. Searching the forum would have made some of these 'fanboys' sound less ...whats the word i'm looking for the "OH GO BUY AN IPHONE, MY MOTHER DOESNT HUG ME ENOUGH" people?...

someone mentioned that this device is for you to assemble..and this is EXACTLY WHY I BOUGHT IT, however I cant assemble squat if i didnt have an LCD screen to work with.

I Want(ed) that phone, but if you get into your Bentley, and turn on the car, and it doesnt turn on...would you go buy another bentley? Thats my experiance.

Thanks to a business trip I landed right back in that airport, and returned this pda . It's a great pda, from what people say, however Ill just wait for sony's new stuff and the blackbarry storm, and then buy something..

GL with all you ppl ..thx for everything

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Malik05:
im going to slap everyone here with my penis...if u want to be conviced to keep the diamond, go into the rom development area of the forum because there is just so many resources and ROMs to make the device superb, if you want a reason to get rid of the phone, look at your billing statement and see how much you paid for the phone, if you want to ***** and whine, call customer service and release your negative energy at them (because they wont do ****)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Addicteddddd:
lol i only have to say one word to the first post: idiot.

and on that note, if you cant find any reason to keep the HTC Diamond then obviously the phone is not for you. Windows Mobile phones are stereotypically for certain types of people, you are not one of them.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Flame Red:
New Fold 2 user here.

I usually buy phones that I root, but I have gone back to a locked ATT Fold 2 this time.

First disappointment with ATT is that they seemed to put a special Voicemail App that is just for the Fold 2. Unlike the old ATT Voicemail app, this one does not have the capability to transcribe messages. It also does not seem to have a widget either for the home screen. The other odd thing is this Fold 2 special version does not appear to be on the Play Store so I doubt updates will ever be forthcoming unless they update it with the ROM.

I have done many searches and tried some things. I tried to install the old ATT Voicemail but it would not install. Some seemed to say they were successful at using the Samsung Voicemail App, but again, that would not install so I am not sure how they got it to work.

Anyone suggest a better voicemail app that works with T?

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bnm7bnm:
Hey all,

The Syrus r0 rom have lots bugs and doesn't work with some 3rd party app to apply languages (that worked on any rom untill Syrus r0)

So I installed the manila2d on diamond r8 rom and have few bugs:

People tab: it dont remember contacts after reset

Internet: youtube link useless cause i don't have this app, change/remove it?

Photos & videos: "albumsearcher cannot be opened..."

Music:it writes song name but doesn't show albumart and doesn't plays the mp3 (on r0 rom it worked)

And now i noticed my camera stopped working after flashed to r0 and back to r8!

The camera app launched but shows only black screen even if i turn the front camera its still black screen,

Any one have this problem reverting back from r0 to r8 or other rom?

Can r0 rom break the camera??

Thanx for help or any advise
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bnm7bnm:
Speed note

And also about speed,

The Syrus r0 seems very fast and responsive but Manila2D+OMNIA driver on Diamond r8 works the same speed.

And some1 said its not real 3d drivers cause the d3d apps still dont work on r0.

So my conclusion is r0 is no breakthrough it just different interface that is still with many bugs and no real speed improvement.

But now I hope the Syrus r0 didn't break my camera....
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] andre117:
Camera problem..

The camera problem might be related to the new radio version. Try reverting to a previous Radio ROM version.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pananza:
Syrus R0 included a new radio and I suspect that it's also responsible for the camera. Does R8 also include a radio? If not the one that came with Syrus R0 is probably not compatible with the software in the R8 ROM.

Try flashing a ROM that comes with a radio as well.

I installed it on R8 there are bugs but still its usable,

Weather tab: works but with the old htc home icons so they are not in place but its still ok

Internet tab: must have youtube app installed for the shortcut to work

Map search tab: must have google maps installed to work

besides those bugs its ok... waiting for next releases...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bally3:
I was also one those hoping for a great leap forward in the 3D department and certainly the benchmarks in the "Some news about 3D drivers" need some explaining... but here the thing:

UDK never said those benchmarks were going to be proved in THIS rom, as this is purely a 2D extravaganza, and this might be resolved n future releases or updates - we just all assumed this to be the case..

btw.. your camera issue is probably caused by the fact the the radio in this rom is incompatible with the "cruise quality fix" which comes pre-installed in some cooked roms.

Solution: Flash back to your old radio.. removing the fix (if possible) wont fix it.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] simonpal:
camera not working after come back from syrius R0

you must install original rom like : RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_SEA_1.28.457.2_radio_sign_25.69.30.05_1.58.25.14_murata_Ship , and after this , install Udk R8 and the camera will be OK ! I did it and it works very well !
