yeah, so we have our own little niche for now... sod the diamond, the Raphael is definitely superior, though AT&T's decision for the keyboard layout is crap
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] omaralt:
Also keep in mind that the touch pro is pretty much non-existent in the US. The diamond was just released here in the US with sprint, and the US 3G gsm version was also recently released, that's why you have so much interest. Once the touch pro is released by at&t you will see this forum explode with activity. The same thing happened last year when the kaiser was first released, and then when the tilt was released by at&t.

(good job she can not read this)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] annonymouse:
you hope hehe

allot of my frined got the diamond and only me and a friend have the touch pro out of the 2 id say ours is better

my friend is on 02 and hes got one so 02 are selling them in the uk

tbh from day one i flashed the rom to romeos 1.05 and did a few little things to personalise it and its been really good so far my last handset was a kaiser and there are some things i miss from the the full screen tilt for instance should have been on this phone then it would have been perfect maybe thats just me spending a year with my kaiser (my girlfriend still thinks he kaiser is better) the t3d stuff took some getting used to but think the touch pro is a awesome handset
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] venelar:
I know this is an international board, but I think once providers in the US start releasing it I expect a lot more activity in here.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stief:
I'm also surprised by the lack of action on the Raphael forum.

I've owned the Diamond (which is much more sexier than the Raphael). But I upgraded to the Raphael as soon as it became available because of the cardslot and more memory. I don't txt that much so the keyboard isn't that important to me (but nice to have:) )

Guess the Diamond is more popular at the moment. Or al lot of the Diamond owners are saving to upgrade to the Raphael;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] WatskeBart:
I think the Touch Pro will become more popular in time, but now maybe it's to expensive for some people. There are also a lot of people who purchased the Diamond and later on they discovered that the Touch Pro was coming out, one colleague of mine regrets that he has bought the Diamond.

but like Olipro said Nice device, now sod off :p
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rorydaredkign:
If I get my hands on one, and this is my local forum (so to speak) I would rather it was quieter. Athena Elf and to some extent Hermes were great (Hermes ws just a bit too big) but Kaiser was just too huge. And I used to spend a lot of time in the Diamond forums whe it first came out, but it instantly filled wth noobs (I know we all wer once) when it was released on the networks. Then I left because it went from interesting discussion about the device to problem solving.

I think the Pro is just too expensive to become insanely popular in a Diamond-esque way. In a similar way to the Athena, its for a pretty specifc user.

For people who dont mind the bulk but are just general users, they can get a kaiser for about £150 on ebay, or £200 new. Or if theyre a general user, but wnt small and thin, they can get a Diamond (£250) so £500 plus for this is a bit unjustifiable until prices drop...

So if I get one I hope it stays small like it is now, and with very knowledgable people rather than noobs.

Even the Touch Pro isnt released everywhere. In germany the Vario IV is in stock since today. I think in a few weeks this forum wil be much more popular.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] thebiscuitboy:
Well I looked at the Diamond, but I'm glad I decided to hang out for the TP as it's clearly worth the wait IMO :) I think give it a few more months and there will be a lot more members posting here ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] vijayvasa:
I have also moved from diamond to pro, becuase of more memory and sd card + keyboard. But some reason, the only thing that bothers me , some roms on diamond are extremely fast..But on pro with all the custom roms I have used , for example programs scrolling and opera scrolling is still slow.

I just wish there is a bit more custom roms here,,,so that with competition , the roms will get better.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] copualt3:
I believe(not a fact) the diamond people are holding out for the HTC touch HD which also just got the US FCC seal of approval and its due at the end of october. YAY.

I was originally going to get the HTC Touch pro but it was too expensive + there is a keyborad, which i dam not too fond of; then i saw a great deal on the diamond and plummet. So i sold off my HTC TOuch cruise for the price of the diamond, i am waiting patiently to get the HD.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DaveShaw:
I might hold out for the HD + Keyboard (if it ever comes). :)

Every No Keyboard Device is followed by a Keyboard one, usually. *Fingers crossed*

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Smaniac:
Here in Brazil a Diamond costs US$ 830, while a Pro costs US$ 1300, so it's a huge difference, that does have an impact on the decision.

But I'm gonna buy the Pro, even with its absurd price.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Pantaloonie:
I'm still waiting for T-Mobile UK to get their finger out and release it.

Been due an upgrade from them for some time, but this is the phone I want.

And I have too many phones already to justify buying at full price from Expansys.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] th1nm1nt:
I could be the only one in the planet that bought this phone...and would still be happy. This is the best WM device I've ever owned, and like most of you, the QWERTY and higher RAM was a must. I was getting inpatient on waiting for the PRO, but wouldn't settle with the Diamond. I'd still be waiting if I had to.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] auriken:
im also glad that this phone doesnt have a lot of attention, cause i like to be the center of attention with new phones among my circle of friends haha. yeah, im sure when the fuze comes out everyone's going to flock here, but atleast i got to say that i have one of the unbranded ones. hopefully the rom team will unlock the us bands for 3g.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] koppee1:
Well, in the Philippines, the Touch Pro just became available. I got mine 2 days ago and the store said they've only had it delivered the day before!

Plus...it's more expensive than the Diamond :p
[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] Tomek0000:
Do you know the difference between poco m3 pro and note 10 5g?

M3pro exists in 2 versions 4gb and 6gb and note 10 5g only 4gb.

You can buy m3pro 6gb for the same price like note (or cheaper, I paid 170$).

3 years ago I bought last device with 4gb. Today this small ram does not have a sense. Is redmi note 10 5g absolutely without a sense?

How can we classify the m3pro\note ?

It is comparable to redmi note 8 pro, and this is not budget level, where we have redmi 9a, m3 ... We can not compare it to redmi 9. There is shorter way to device with snap 71x.

Why I see many news titled: new budget 5g smartfon?

It should be reserved for snap 480 devices like new announced one plus.

[POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 / 10T 5G] thepredator_:
All the spec in the both the phones are exactly the same expect the RAM, which makes the Redmi Note 10 a bit expensive! If you need storage you can go for Note 10. Other than that there is no special specs..

[General Questions and Answers] thebic:
Preamble​

I oft find in various forums that people are so filled with the milk of human kindness that they just can't wait to help, ( or may gain a few more badges~) ignoring everything but the heading.

And in doing so ask foolish questions.

So, please DO READ to the end.

UPDATE

Thanks to @ jwoegerbauer I now know I can't install the Lantern APK via recovery. I must use ADB which I have previously tried but failed.

Obviously, therefore I do not know what I am doing with ADB.

My tasks focus now is to install Lantern APK via ADB with the devices , tools and systems already mentioned. (below)

Unless someone, somewhere knows where I can find a Lantern ZIP file which I can flash. (seems I am good at that now at least~)

Please DO read everything below ladies and gents, my sense of humour and patience does have a limit~

Mobile Device Details​

Samsung note 3 originally 9006 Chinese ROM

Rooted via Odin to 9005

Upgraded to Lineage ROM 18

Uploaded pico Gapps

Uploaded Magisk v23

Desktop Machine

Asus P5BSE / Core2 Duo E4400 @ 2.00GHz / 4GB ram / 2TB storage / Linix; Zorin Core 15.3

Project in brief​

To install Lantern. (getlantern.org)

Lantern is usually installed via Google play store.

Google is blocked in China.

Downloaded Lantern APK to upload to phone via recovery from SD card.

Recovery does not show the APK in the SD card.

Stuck.

Further info - useful?​

During one of my many attempts to install Lineage following a blog, I wiped the disk in error.

I also suspect I removed the backup of the original Samsung system as when I tried to reboot, TWRP mentioned there was no O/S.

Nothing I could do restored the original.

What was it Macbeth said about being in blood stepped so far?

On my final install of Lineage 18 I seem now to have their Recovery, not TWRP.

I am happy with that, seems no big deal for me, I was able to successfully install the new OS + Gapps. And it is one less APP to install

I also have Magisk installed, the device is in dev mode and - seemingly rooted. (although the App does not explicitly say so)

Using a borrowed SIM card I can connect to the China mobile network system.

I now have a fully functional, working , English language device with Lineage 18.

Brilliant!

My last task is to figure out how to get the Lantern App sorted.

I have downloaded the APK from their official site, several others as well as a supposedly zip file.

Saved to SD card, visible when viewed on Linux, invisible when card is installed in mobile.

I really do not know quite how to proceed from here.

If I have missed anything, sorry, please ask.

Huge thanks to RAIZ from this forum for getting me to this stage and the guys who made Lineage 18 so darn easy to install and seemingly impossible to mess up.

And boy oh boy, believe me, I have really tried over the past few months~!

[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
An APK will never get installed via Recovery.

You typically install an APK ( sideload method ) by means of ADB.

adb devices
adb install <FULL-PATHNAME-OF-APK-ON-PC-HERE>

Yeah you could use adb sideload in twrp.

Hehe, I can verify your first statement!

Do you have a link you can direct me to please as to how to do it via ADB in Lineage recovery as I did try that (side loading) via TWRP and it threw back an error. I can't recall but I think it was permissions or similar?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that in my post.

[General Questions and Answers] Kenora_I:

[General Questions and Answers] thebic:
You are right.

I am not sure how this forum works, so it was more of a post to jwoegerbauer.

Anyway, even opening the folder with terminal and using adb install lantern-installer failed with a CLOSE error message. I guess that meant close as in shut not closes as in almost!

I can, using Lineageos recovery access ADP on my phone with the instruction: " now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"

However that triggers a screed of data in terminal which, frankly, is well beyond my rudimentary level of comprehension.

I have tried following 3 other on line tuts which suggest using ADB on my computer. All goes well until the instruction: <adb devices> which returns:

$ adb devices

List of devices attached

In other words, computer can't find phone!

I initially tried it in DOWLOAD mode, with the usual "download in progress, do not disconnect source."

Then reading the tuts again, none mentioned download mode so I tried with just the device attached to the machine in normal phone usage mode. Checked that SAMSUNG was visible and I could open the folders but again failed. ( sorry I forget what that error message was)

So far the most positive has been the direct ADB via Lineageos, but I have no idea where to go from there.

It is knocking on 37* here, too hot to think so I am taking a break.

Thx for your latest efforts.

Cheers

OK Finally!

bicyu@bicyu-System-Product-Name:~$ adb install /home/bicyu/Sam-upgrade/lantern-installer/lantern-installer.apk

Performing Streamed Install

Success

bicyu@bicyu-System-Product-Name:~$

I have read so many posts all end with the <adb devices> and on each one I see zilch.

So, for anyone else in this boat, here is my solution.

In developer OPTIONS on your LINEAGEos device scroll down to

DEFAULT USB CONFIGURATION​

Very likely it is set to FILE TRANSFER - mine was.

Change it to USB TETHERING

Then enter < adb devices> in terminal.

You should then see your Android listed.

Proceed with: adb install <FULL-PATHNAME-OF-APK-ON-PC-HERE>

You should see a SUCCESS flag!

NOTES: This works in Lineageos ROM on Linux, ( Ubuntu / Zorin O/S)

I dunno about others.

You need to have dev options activated.

Change the USB setting back when done, otherwise it tends to mess up your Internet! (did mine anyway!)

This is the best background tut to ADB I found.

He talks about a USB3 bug which, apparently, creates the same problem - maybe THAT is your issue? It was that article which put me on the USB CONFIG train.

Hope this helps someone.

A REALLY HUGE thank you to jwoegerbauer for putting me

on the right track - wrong train, - but right track.

Cheers mate! 🍹
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Glad to hear you solved it.

Only to have mentioned it, there is a workaround - as always because many ways leads to Rome:

Copy the APK of interest onto MicroSD-card, plug the card into phone, afterwards using any File Manager application that is installed on phone, navigate to the location on MicroSD where the APK file is located and finally double-click on the APK file: this will install the APK.
[General Questions and Answers] Kenora_I:
Yep! Well good luck
[General Questions and Answers] thebic:
NOW he tells me!

That was where I began 2+ weeks back, downloading to SD card and trying to find a way inside the phone to do it. Never thought of File Manager! Duh~

2. run;

3. soft reset.

Setting:

Settings are made by pressing the button "Settings".

To close the Settings window click "OK." To close the Settings window use "Hide" button . Do not click on the X in the upper right corner, as this will lead to the closure of the program.

The program was written for the Gigabyte device, but it works with other devices.

On my Touch HD works only with red or green buttons only.
