[Sony Xperia 10 Questions & Answers] bennypr0fane:
I need to send in my Xperia 10 dual sim for repair (probably need new battery), it's still on warranty.

Now I had lineageOS on it, and hoped to resolve the battery charging problems by re-flashing the original firmware. I don't have a Winodws computer, so I used XperiFirm and Newflasher on Linux to do that. Everything looks original now, But of course I still have the "your device can't be checked for corruption" effin message popping up, and I don't know if the retailer will service my phone for free if they can see I had the bootloader unlocked.

Now I read that re-locking the bootlaoder will

1) also reset the whole thing to factory settings, delete all data.

2) break the camera?

1.) Is not a problem, they want you to do that before service anyways, and I backed everything up.

2.) Is a problem, because they might yet deduce that I unlocked the bootloader, or give me some other trouble.

However I also saw it hinted in this forum that re-locking the bootloader should be fine if it is done on the original firmware, which would be the case.

...=> If I re -lock, do you think I'll be safe sending it back, regarding signs of the BL being previously unlocked?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Antonio ALex:
So guys please help me out here, I recently update to 12.5 and did not test the microphone below this version, I got the phone and installed the update, I notice that it brigs a lot of bugs but I don't now if the problem I'm facing is a bug, error or malfunction. When I use any app that use the microphone the audio is not recorded properly, nothing it's recorded in the first 4 second after that it happen a BIP followed by another one and then record normally, the first BIP when listened with a headphone it's responsible for the left side and the second for the right(recording with any external microphone works fine), I can't show to you guys that's why I describe. I can't send it back so anyone are having this same problem, know anything... ? Thanks!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] ArsLDN:
Poco F3

12.5.1 official stable

A bug or as intended?

Dual SIM, using one SIM for calls, the second for mobile internet. Different networks. Both networks support VoLTE, it is turned on and works fine while using same SIM for calls and LTE at the same time..

But hhen calling from the first SIM, don't have LTE connection on the second.

I understand the reason is maybe because they are on different networks, but I was still expecting otherwise.

An option "use secondary SIM for mobile data during calls" does not have any effect.

CAn someone recreate?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] panoz:
It's dual stand-by not dual active. In dual stand-by only 1 SIM can be fully active at a time.

That is 1 SIM can have an active call and Data, or one active call or Active Data. You can't have 2 active calls on different SIMs or 1 active call and active data on different SIMs.

Update: Adding link : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_SIM#Standby

Oh. Thanks for this.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Candiety:
Okay, so as above. I modified my OnePlus 6 in summer 2019 when I bought it, and kept Lineage OS (unsure what version if it matters); I modified the bootloader, installed TWRP Blue_Spark for recovery and rooted using magisk. I made a nandroid backup but it was on the sd card partition and I've at some point wiped it.

Again, no custom rom. I only know because I thankfully made a text file explaining what I did. I used this thread.

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3792643

If you click the text file copied into the spoiler you can see pretty much exactly what I did, if you want:

Spoiler content hidden.

My problems (potentially): I was getting OTA lineage updates and people said they were actually fine with this and wouldn't cause a problem, and they certainly seemed to be fine for a time.

However, at some point over two years my recovery has been reverted to presumably stock recovery and TWRP is missing. I'm not 100% sure how this happened but I'm assuming it was when I installed Android 10 OTA, or potentially did some kind of reset. I'm now unsure if I can simply install TWRP without some kind of problem.

Any Insite into what likely caused that and if it could be problematic would be appreciated. It's definitely gone. I didn't install to both A/B.

My root also stopped working as I can remember substratum themes breaking permanantely after an update, but they just became disabled and substratum remained benign and installed. I'm assuming this was with the Android 10 update, or when I lost TWRP (?) - but I'm not sure how I installed Magisk as I don't mention in the instructions file I found in the spoiler. According to the thread:

My bootloader remains unlocked and I have USB debugging enabled.

TLDR: I was just wondering whether my Android version 10.3.10, the fact my TWRP recovery has been reset, my magisk root is gone and I'm not sure if it persists, means that I might encounter problems installing TWRP, Magisk and custom ROMS.

Will they be persistent and problematic somewhere or are they gone?

Should I unlock my bootloader again when request, or skip that step. Would it matter?

Also any reccomendations on a decent custom ROM for the OnePlus 6? I'm ideally looking for security/privacy and to move away from google as much as possible. I've always flashed ROMS and loved LineageOS, or moreso, CyanogenMod on Nugget iirc was the peak for me, but I never bothered on this phone for some reason.

I'm sick of feeling my data is being stolen, whether that be anaytics, physically, etc etc. It seems like it's being pepetually eroded further and further and I want to feel my phone is free and cool like I used to.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kramerica2:
Looking for a new device, and the Diamond seems a great candidate. I'm not too worried about the battery issue, but I am worried about typing, since I'm used to having a HW KB.

The thing is, I'm sick and tired of big devices, and the Diamond seems small and nice.

If you answered against the Diamond, please explain why.

Thanks a lot for your time.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Atrius:
took me a while to get used to, having been using a tytn II for a couple of years. but now i'm just about as comfortable with the OSK as I was with the hardware one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tomchap:
I love the Diamond and for your reasons, size being the main one, then the Diamond would be perfect.

However, im used to an Ameo, (HTC Advantage) which is Huuuuuuuuge! That was too big for me, but it seems that the Touch HD is a compromise between the two. Perfect!

I dont wish that I hadnt purchased the Diamond but if id known the Touch HD was coming out I probably would of waited a while. I do love everything about the Diamond tho, it really is a sleek, sexy device and it does everything I want and need it to.

Will see what the Touch HD brings :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lmbranco:
I would never buy the Diamond, even if there were the same devices available like before.

The screen is too smal for the Resolution, the Touch HD will solve this problem.

The keyboard due to it's small size is not so usable.

I am a fan of the i780, but the screen resolution is still too less, i would expect that a combination of 480x640 and keyboard would make it perfect.

Regards,

Luís
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] diamondino:
i think the main problem is WM.

it's a great device but like others [omnia, touch pro, hd, x1] WM is slow, buggy, stupid.

I really wish that Android will work on Diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PJ6363:
HTC Touch Pro

Have you not looked at the Raphael....complete with HW keyboard, larger battery, and MicroSD :confused:

Its only a little larger and it looks like it has your name written on it ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PaNa-S:
I love the diamond, the only problem I get is the battery but I buyed the official extended battery and is perfect

528mhz + wifi + gps + small device + beuty device = all I need :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jannen:
Great phone

I have had experince of Vario II, played some with the IPhone. In general the Compact IV

is not (I havent updated the original T-Mobile rom) that sluggish many reviewers suggest. At least it works fine for me, and is similar to my Vario II (that run WM 6.1).

Its WM so can install loads cool free softwares. Had some issues I brought up on the forum here, but all in all - great phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] degler:
I would ve buy Pro due to battery. I use WM a lot during the day and stock battery is a bad joke.

Typing is ok with compact qwerty and other soft keyboards u can choose from

Why not just buy Diamond and replace battery?

Cos with Pro u will get larger battery, leather case and desktop charger for only few bucks/eur more.

I dont mind the sd card cos 4gb Diamond built in mem is enough for me.

Having the option to change cards (one for bussines data, one for holidays pictures) seems like interresting option but not essential.

With WM 6.1 I dont need the laptop anymore to work outside the office. Problem is... that it dies after 5 hours of mailing, exceling, or filling online forms.

I dont want to use advantage due its size, so definately Touch PRO unless htc will not amaze me with some new biz oriented and tiny device.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] studz:
There is nothing out there that comes close to squeezing all the toys into such a small device.

Gripes about screen size and battery life are completely irrelevant if keeping size to a minimum is important... and working around these issues really is easy... lopping off 10 or 20mm here and there isn't!

So finally, if you're happy about WM, (where IMHO the big divide on whether a user will be a Diamond lover or hater), then it's a no brainer for you I reckon.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] xanderkain:
first thing I did with my diamond after I got It was flash it to SwiftBL v6.5 after the updated came I put in SwiftBL v7 16mbpp, changed the way tf3d icons look and put in s2p and s2u2 and now Its perfect I get people amazed what the phone can do and showed them this website after that I got 3 of my friends interested on buying a HTC Diaomond which 2 of them already havethey loved it so much that they switched carriers just to get the GSM diamond. so I say again Diamond is perfect for me. Im buying another Diamond for my wife
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] HPJ:
In my humble opinion the Diamond is as near to perfect as possible at the moment.

I too was hesitant about moving away from a proper keyboard, but having used the Diamond's on screen it really makes no difference (to me).

I do however rely on SBP Mobile Shell...I would be lost without that, however that would apply to any phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Addicteddddd:
i would buy it again, but if the touch hd was out i'd get that instead :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] FH1:
Yes. Easily the best device I have used.

It may not be as user friendly as iPhone, but it's size and functionality are fantastic.

I was sceptical about it before it arrived from Orange, as I was thinking about iPhone. But after 5 minutes, I was convinced.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jonfun:
I also found it took a while to get used to my Diamond. Mainly because of the touch typing of text messages (cant be doing with the stylus aaaall the time).....I also however am loving the fact that I can run all my apps, Tomtom, etc...and as my first proper ppc im impressed.

Only a couple of issues though.

1. I wish it didnt hang as much (But Im currently looking into the ROM side of things, all new to me).

2. I wish the camera had a flash (However I do swap to my Cybershot if im out on the town)

3. I wish the sound quality wa much better for speaker and headphone playback.

They probly do seem quite big issues to most, But i o still love the diamond it looks flash as F**k.

:)

Jon
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] SkizZO:
Diamond is PERFECT because it's SMALL, very small.

The battery isn't a problem (in a car or at pc can be easily recharged, i've always a very short miniusb cable with me)

and the keyboard, if you need, can be an IR projected keyboard (make more scene!! :D :D)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jentech:
I love the Diamond, even though it's a EU and I'm in Canada and don't get 3G, it's not the end of the world, there are plenty of wifi spots. The battery could be better, but like most techno geeks, I have chargers everywhere. Could use a keyboard as in the Pro, but I have one of those IR keyboards for long typing sessions...my biggest problem is screen size. I love the VGA screen, but I like real estate (my eyes aren't what they used to be), the bigger the better. So, I will wait for the HD and sell my precious Diamond to someone who probably won't work, play and tweak it like I love to do. :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tunppi:
i would buy HD, but since my diamond got stolen i had choice to get moneys or new diamond, so I took new diamond. Couldnt just wait for HD to come :D

love Diamond, but HD has so nice screen and camera :) cant say diamond isnt great anyway
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] willyy1991:
Battery life sucks, but..

You know.. i think im going to buy the official extended battery but its just amazing that that tiny battery lights up the screen, wifi, 3g, GPS and if you dont use it TOO INTENSIVE it will stay till the next day, and it'll be 30/40% ..

I every day check my mail, the weather, some websites, MSN Messenger play with GM or TOMTOM andthe battery life is now 60% ...

If you want to buy it so you'd have a little office in your pocket you really should buy an extended battery!:P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] trentend:
I came from a tytn to diamond. I loved the keyboard on my tytn, but I was sick of lugging around all the extra weight, and running out of pockets for it to fit into. The diamond is a dream to carry, and it looks fantastic. The screen is beautiful. I protect it with a cheap flip leather case, which looks surprisingly good and has a hole for the camera. This also minimises phantom key presses when the phone is in my pocket. I have the mda compact iv version, which is a prettier than the diamond, and I'm still running the much maligned stock ROM (for warranty purposes) - I find it ok. I love the diamond, and am secure in the knowledge that flashing a new ROM, or even running android on it in the fullness of time, will provide a nearly perfect phone experience.

It would be wrong to underestimate the advantages of a compact easily pocketable phone, and it's transformed my ease of use compared with my tytn. The on screen keyboard is fine for my purposes (although it's sometimes a little annoying when it hides the box that you are currently typing into - particularly if it's a password box, and you don't get the feedback of seeing the letter appear as you press the button).

I wouldn't go back, and although the specs of the HD are alluring, I would personally choose the convenience of the diamond size over it. In fact I may well ultimately have both, as the diamond is my work phone, and I may choose the HD for personal use - as long as an android port materialises (apart from the absence of a compass I think it's what the G1 should have been). I have bought ten diamonds for use on our work contract. I have not had a single substantive complaint from any of my users. All are on the stock t-mobile ROM.

Windows - iPhone - Windows - My Story

Hi Guys,

I have used smartphones and pocket pc's for quite a while now and I love their versatility and the facility to customise to suit your own needs with ringtones wallpaper software etc...

I was sucked in by all of the hype surrounding the iPhone and so I bought one about 3 weeks before O2 released them in the UK. It was unlocked and ready to use with my Orange simcard.

I was instantly amazed by the operating system and how quick and accurate it was and how it just did what i wanted it to do, when i wanted it to do it.

This may seem like a simple request but one that would not be so simple using a pocket pc or a smartphone running a windows mobile OS.

I used the iPhone for a few months and grew to love it and how it showed off my pictures and videos, I installed various bits of software like games and a converter etc.. and it was superb. The battery life was good and synching with itunes was not a problem for me once I got used to it. So I was happy owning a phone that was great looking, worked very well and could be customised to suit my needs.

However, I had noticed that I was starting to miss calls occasionally and that bothered me as you can understand the main function of a phone is to make and receive calls. I had noticed that when the phone was 'sleeping' the screen was blank but when I 'woke' it up the screen would show no network reception for a few seconds and then it would connect and everything would be fine.

This carried on until it got to really p*ss me off after having arguments with people that had said they had tried to contact me but the phone had gone to answerphone mode instead of ringing. Of course when I turned on the iphone it would show no signal for a few seconds then no missed calls.

The iPhone is still exactly the same and this is the only thing that stops me from using it now, I just wish I could take it to an Apple shop to be fixed but seeing as it was imported and unlocked etc... I am reluctant to try.

I then saw the HTC Diamond advertised and knew I had to have one, I had also missed having the TomTom software available to use as well because the Iphone did not have GPS installed. So I bought one from ebay and started to use it.

This seemed to put my phone experience into reverse after using the iPhone because the operating system ( WM 6.1 ) was hardly any improvement on the old HTC Trinity pocket pc ( WM 5 ) and I was quickly regretting my purchase because of the slow operating system and fidgety programs.

I still use the Diamond so that I can receive calls as I should do but I would go back to using an Iphone if the problems with reception were eradicated.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with WM 6.1?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bbju:
Just checked out the 3 new HTC phones. Don't laugh at me. I like 3G most. Yeah, I know HD is good with huge screen and Pro has a keyboard. But I use to carry my phone around my neck and that 150g will kill me. The few things I don't like my diamond most are unexpandable memory, unbearably poor battery life. This seems to be solved by the new HTC 3G (micro SD slot + 1100 mAh battery). I can make a compromise with an QVGA screen and a not so sleek look.

Yes, a bit regret to have bought diamond as I also suspect this 3G will sell cheaper, too..... See, that's life.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Monty Burns:
crap battery life, crap build quality and music playing bugged to feck (the common sound lag/jump issue).

Not a fecking chance.:mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kramerica2:
Thanks everyone for your input. Since I also own an amazing Athena, I think I'll get the Diamond despite some flaws... The size is a winner.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] carv6441:
No I wouldn't buy it again!

in the 3 months of owning a Diamond, I've had countless problems and soft-resets, the system is slow, the touch buttons to answer/reject calls made me answer calls when taking the phone out of the case or answer calls inadvertly when phone in pocket (dangerous :))

not to mention the peeling of the top layer of the home/answer/reject buttons pad and the bad battery life, together with all the other known issues.

I now own an iphone 3G- it's a beauty, it works when I want it to work, you press a button and don't have to wait 10sec for something to happen and I can finally answer/reject calls with no fear.....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] carv6441:
Did you update to latest firmware? it works a treat now no more porblems with missing calls etc!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] studz:
crap fuel range, crap build quality, harsh ride and with low down power delivery bugged to feck (with a common notchy gear change and a rear brake fade issue).

Not a fecking chance.:p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Monty Burns:
:D:D Happily, i've not discovered any of those issues... mines an 07, maybe they were fixed for that model? As far as I'm aware the only thing special about mine is the paint and no actually special parts for this limited edition so, doubt they fixed them that way. Build quality though is excellent. Up there with the SP1.

Now people are wondering what the hell we are talking about!:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] remakeru:
Yeah.. I would!

It's really a good phone but you have to tweak it a little bit after you get it out of the box...

The battery life is not so good indeed,but it's a very small phone... and I really like that.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] The Jones:
I love my Diamond, but the battery life does annoy me more and more the longer I have the phone.

Its my first smartphone and it is exactly what I want - something small for doing email and a bit of web browsing on top of the phone parts. For me, its perfect other than the battery life.

Whilst I do not regret getting the Diamond, my eyes have been opened and I doubt I would get another HTC phone unless the build quality is a little better and battery much better.

I personally dont have issues with WM6.1 though I hardly push it very hard!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] studz:
You're probably right :D

I purposely didn't mention any of the good points (and there are many) because you didn't about the Diamond (as likewise, there are many)... horses for courses really.

The RSVR, and even the Factory are not perfect by a long way (I've had personal experience of all the points I mentioned with heaps of milles, a few old 'Rs', and an 05 and an 06 Factory)... but that still doesn't make them bad bikes... and that's before we get onto the twins versus fours thing, much of which is subjective as you'll know.

Anyway, ride safe! :cool:

Apologies to all for the OT... promise we won't go on and on and on and on and on and on...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] alaiwy:
I have a question for all your Diamond owners. Does the video playback and 3d run smoothly?

I left the kaiser for that reason and I'm hesitant. I'd assume that the video playback and streaming of online videos is seemless with the 64mb dedicated video but i wanted to get your feedback.

I will use Slingbox and a couple streaming websites quite a bit and want to be sure that the video playback is elite.

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mikehockenballs:
Upgrade

I was under the impression that if I upgraded from firmware 1.1.1 on the iphone, it would be useless etc...

If there was a way to upgrade my version I would go for it without question.

Do you have any pointers carv6441?

Cheers for the info!

Dez
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Lord_BlackAdder:
I like the compact size of the Diamond and I have bought a slim Diamond pouch that I can clip onto my belt. TouchPRO and Touch HD are a bit too big for my liking.

If there is anything I wish for future version of Diamond, it would be:

1. a tiny bit bigger screen but keep the size of the phone the same

2. a microSD slot or bigger internal storage (8, 16, or even 32 GB)

3. TV-Out support.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Lord_BlackAdder:
Not sure if anyone notice, the Diamond can play back natively MP4 H.264 videos which is also the video format supported by Flash player 9 onwards. Very cool!
